Washington, Jan. 2-INS-United
States production OF powerful night
fighting planes for England will be
one OF the matters discussed in the
forthcoming conferences between
Sir Hugh Bowling, British air mar
shall, and American air experts, in
formed army sources said today.
The disclosure came after Sir
Hugh. who is en- route to Washing
ton from Canada. declared that
England had found the answer to
the devastating night bombings and
limited strongly that the problem Is
now mainly one of production.
American experts said the only
plausible answer TO night bombings
is construction OF night fighting
plane-a ship equipped with either
light. sound or radio equipment en-
abling II to detect enemy planes
and battle them In darkened skies.
There have been increasing re-
ports from London of the activities
OF might fighters" and II is be-
lieved by military circles that Eng
land has developed such equipment
and needs only to be able TO build
it in sufficient quantity TO be effec'
tive.
The mass daylight bombings of
Britain were stopped almost entire

ly by the use OF the ordinary day
fighters, they said Germany. ex
perts pointed out, could not stand
the losses In this kind OF war
since every time a bomber was
shot down over England the entire
NaZi crew was lost-either killed
or captured.
British planes. however, could be
shot down and the crew escape by
parachuting onto its own land.
According to American experts
there are only two effective ways
Of dealing with bombing attacks:
I. Anti-aircraft fire and such de.
lenses as balloon barfages, which
only serve to keep the enemy planes
at a great height. Since the object
of night bombing. however. is not
accuracy but merely a mass dis
charge OF bombs, the enemy is not
handicapped by flying above anti
aircraft fire.
=. Attacks by pursuit and fighter
planes. II this sort of an attack can
be powerful enough, the enemy
must give up mass bombing raids
as the Germans were forced to give
them up during daylight hours.
Thus, according to air authori-
ties, If night fighters can be devel-
oped in sufficient quantities, they
can put an end TO night bombing
raids in the same manner.
