By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States, Col. Robert
Olds said today, will have an Army
air force only half the present size
of Germany's Luftwaffe even when
the current expansion program is
completed.
Col. Olds, veteran military flyer
heads the Army's new ferry COM
mand, which delivers warplanes from
factories to ports for shipment over
seas.
The Luftwaffe has seven inde-
pendent air forces and more than
million officers and men," Col. Olds
wrote in the periodical Flying and
Popular Aviation. I'VE have four
such forces and about 10000 Off
GERS and men in our Army Air Force
organization.
Would Still Be Behind.
by the time our airplane con-
struction and training program is
complete, we will have an Army
Air Force about half the size Of
the Luftwaffe. Where we 60 from
there depends upon the size OF the
Luftwaffe when the program is COM
pleted."
Other official sources reported that
latest revised plans contemplate
some 83 groups of combat planes,
and more than 100000 officers and
men to fly and maintain them. SUCH
a force is not expected to be realized
for a year or more, even though
the rate of training pilots is to be
stepped up this fall to 10000 year
and upward of 10000 warplanes are
on order now in American plants
for the Army, Navy and Great
Britain. .
Another air force officer, Mai
Hoyt Vandenberg, reported in the
same periodical that long-range
fighting planes of tomorrow were
now on Army engineering drafting
boards.
Heavier Armament.
Their general design will be to-
ward heavier armament, possibly
even three and four of the 81 milli-
meter cannon and six or eight 80
caliber guns, and they will carry
a crew of from three to five men,
creating virtually impregnable fort
resses of themselves, yet maintain
ing considerable maneuverability
and striking prowess which the
bombers lack" Maj. Vandenberg
