the war, 18 months after the United
States entered the fight against
Germany. The Liberty aircraft en-
gine was in mass production before
the end of the war, which is re-
garded today as very good record
Nevertheless, Americans were tre-
mendously disappointed over the re-
suits of our aviation achievements
in the World War, largely because
Of overoptimism. There is danger
that the same thing may happen
again. in the opinion of leaders in
the aircraft engine industry.
Warns Against Overoptimism.
1T is only fair to say that the air.
craft engine industry is so much
further along than other phases of
national defense as to amount to a
paradox, in the light of past ex-
perience," one of the leaders of the
industry declared. 1T is a funda-
mental fact that the actual ca
pacity of the American aircraft in
dustry is about half what is re-
quired to meet the proposed $4,000
plane program. But If we set a
visionary goal and become over
optimistic there is certain to be
disappointment"
Although military regulations
prohibit the announcement of &C
tual numbers of aircraft engines
now being produced by the two
great American engine plants, some
thing of an approximation is pos
sible. Up to two years ago, Pratt g.
Whitney had put about $1,000 900
into plant and equipment and was
producing engines with an equiva-
lent of 250,0O0 horsepower a month.
At 1000 horsepower per engine that

would have amounted to $50 en-

would have amounted to $50 en-
gines.
During the last IL months Pratt
& Whitney has tripled its produc-
ton capacity, in q program largely
financed by France, and present
actual production is placed at about
850,0O0 horsepower per month. In
l,OOO-horsepower engines, this would
mean $50 units. Total expenditures
on the plant and equipment to date
total $4,000, 900 and an expansion
now Just beginning, which will be
financed by the British, at a cost of
$S,000,O 900, is expected to bring
monthly capacity by the end of the
year to about 100000 horsepower
per month, or an average Of 1900
engines of 1000 horsepower each,
or 14,4O0 engines a year.

ouctlon, the Allison still Is on a
very limited production basis Of IA a

Experimental Character.
The chief reason for delay in get
ting the Allison engine into produc-
ton Is the experimental character
Of the engine and the second reason
Is the inability of factory equipped
with automobile machine tools to
take over the far more precise work
required on an aircraft engine of
10 times the horsepower and in
flnitely less relative weight. The
version of the Allison engine which
has been granted an approved type
certificate by the Civil Aeronautics
Authority is rated at 1000 horse
power for take-off. It is a 12-
cylinder, 60-degree v engine. with
displacement of LILO cubic inches
and a total weight, dry, without
propeller hub or starter, of 1920
pounds, or 128 pounds per horse
power, which compares favorably
with the average air-cooled type.
Expressing FRANK doubts the Gov
ernment will actually attempt to
undertake $4,000 -airplane pro-
gram, leading engine builders point
ed out that there is an element of
danger in building up public hopes
of such production. 1t was pointed
out that great hopes were built up
during the World War, when there
was talk of fleets of American fight
ing planes which would darken the
skies. Although the American avia-
ton effort then was regarded as
good, even in the light of present
knowledge, production was not at
tanned until just before the end of
