types. The 1912 total, according to
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce
estimates, is expected to be approx
mately 10000, of which. as has been
pointed out, 10000 will be military
aircraft.
Figure Seen as Conservative.
This estimate of 10000 airplanes
of all types next year probably is
conservative. Louis r. Inwood of
the aircraft section of the Office of
Production Management in a re-
cent speech said that if actual pro-
duction continues its planned and
orderly expansion, approximately
50,400 aircraft of all types-mili-
tary, commercial and private-will
be produced next year. In 1893,
Mr.. Inwood pointed out, the total
production of all aircraft in the
United States was less than 5000,
so that within a space of five years
the annual production rate will
have increased 1000 per cent.
Officials of the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce regard Mr..
Inwood's estimate as optimistic but
indicated that they had preferred
to err, if at all. on the conservative
side. 1t is regarded as probable,
therefore, that the overall produc-

tion next year will be somewhere
between the 10000 and $4,000 air.
plane estimates.
1t might be pointed out that the
rate of increase in United States
military airplane production during
recent months has exceeded the
anticipations of Federal leaders.
1t is recalled that William S.
Knudsen early in 1941 said that he
would be very happy if the United
States produced $4,000 airplanes of
all types in 1941. That was before
the April production figures showed
that the 400 mark had been passed.
Shortly after the April figures were
made public Vice President WAL
lace forecast a 1941 production of
$4,000 airplaneS. Mr.. Knudsen
raised his estimate to 10000.

airplanes probably is entirely of
combat types.
Official United States production
figures show that military produc-
ton passed the 1,400 mark last
month. British production now is
estimated to be at level of about
$500 month, of which it is thought
about 1000 are combat types and
500 trainers. This gives a COM
bined United States-British pro-
duction of combat airplanes of
1700, as compared with the German
1000.
r. A. F. Air Parity on Way.
With German war losses unques-
tionably heavier today than those
of Great Britain, it is probable
that the British at the present time
are increasing the total striking
force available to the Royal Air
Force faster than the Germans are
able to increase the airplane
strength of the Luftwaffe, and that
the day Of actual air parity in num-
bers of airplanes is already on the
way.
Over all airplane production in
the United States rapidly is ap-
preaching the $4,000 airplane goal
set by President Roosevelt, though
this total, of course. includes train
ers, commercial airplanes and light
planes.
The 1910 United States produc-
ton totaled 10000 airplanes of all
types, according to figures of the
Aeronautical Chamber of Com
merce. This compared with an
overall production of 1000 in 1899.

Output Of All Types
Estimuted at Nearly
$4,000 Next Year
by JOSEPH s. EDGERToN.

Given the cooperation of Ameri-
can labor, the 1912 production OF
combat airplanes in the United
States in the third year of its de-
fenss effort will pass that Of Ger
many in the ninth year of its all
out war effort, according to con-
servative estimates based upon
highly reliable current and pcten-
taal production figures.
These figures are based on a
steadily decreasing ratio of train
ing airplanes to combat airplanes
which already has begun to make
itself felt as overall production
grows.
Although the Office of Produc-
zion Management has refused con-
sistently to break down the total
military production figures to show
the proportion of training to war
planes, it has been estimated au-
thoritatively that half of the Ameri-
can military plane production today
is of trainers.
BY 1912 it is probable that the
proportion will be 10 to 80. 1t al
ready has been estimated by the
aviation manufacturers that their
total military airplane production
for 1912 will be 10000 airplanes.
With the decreasing proportionate
number of trainers, therefore, it is
likely the production of combat air.
planes will pass the 10000 mark.
Germans at Peak.
German production today is re-
liably estimated at approximately
1900 airplanes a month. This is
expected to be the peak rate for
this year and next. with increased
British bombing taking a heavier
and heavier toll of German indus
tries and communications. New air
plane factory construction in former
Czecho-S -Slovakian, Rumanian and
Polish territory, as far removed as
possible from the British aerial
hammering, is not expected to do
more than keep pace with losses in
existing production, if it does that.
1t is estimated, therefore, that total
German production next year will
be less than 10000 airplanes of all
types.
Combined United States-British
combat airplane production already
has passed that of Germany, ac-
cording to the most reliable esti-
mates.

Bus Post Office Starts
Run 10 Harrisonburq
BY the Associated Press.

HARRISONBURG. Va. Feb. IL
A big bus, the Nations first high
way post Office, settled down to a
routine of carrying the mails be-
tween Washington and Harrison
burg today after yesterdays opening
run, which was attended with cere-
mony.
The bus brought Smith w. Pur-
dunn, Assistant Postmaster General
and other officials of the Post Of
flee Department here and returned
to Washington later loaded with
thousands of letters addressed to
stamp and cover collectors in every
part of the Nation.
The travelling post office, which
will serve post Offices in Northern
Virginia and the Valley between
Washington and Harrisonburg. is an
innovation in the postal service
Four mail clerks will work the mail
on it just as it is worked in rail-
way mail cars.
Mr.. Purdum emphasized that the
bus service would not replace any
postal services existing now, but
would serve communities which
have suffered from curtailed mail
service along with curtailed train
service.
Bands turned out to swell the
greeting of crowds at Front Royal
and Woodstock on the openin.
southbound run. The bus will leave
Washington each morning and re-
turn there each evening.
