Over 40 Per Cent

LONDON, June % CUP) Sir
Kingsley Wood, air minister, to-
day announced a drive to increase
the strength of the air force per-
sonnel by more than 40 per cent.

recruit more than 2,100 pilots,
more than $50 observers, nearly 26,-
600 tradesmen and mskilled work
erS and more than 5000 boys.
The result will be to add more

The men to be recruited will
equal in number the entire
strength of the air force before
the expansion program began in
1895.

of the production of thousands of
war planes and large quantities of
equipment and air armament of
