relates To combat aVlatl0n,

tain Eddie Rickenbacker in
a letter printed in your col
umn.

Captain Rickenbocker, ito
do the job we hare to do
100000 IN the zone Of the
rear, and 200, 900 combat
men, 1chich means about
100000 men to support

This is a task of tremen-
dOus proportions, not alone
In terms OF men involved but
of time.
1t explains a great deal that
the job is so big.
1t explains the persistent
retreats and CALLING defeats
In the early phases of the
present war.
The United States started
this war with only a fraction
of the minimum air force re-
quired to win il, and must
now build as il fights-which
necessitates a bidiHg OF time,
and a licking of wounds.
There is grim satisfaction
of course i'm the knowledge
that the problem is recog=
nized in the proportions out
lined by Captain Ricken-
hacker, and that we will
eventually and reasonably
soon have an American air
force adequate for the task.
In that respect, the au-
thority with which Captain
Rickenbacker discusses the
subject of combat aviation is
a useful guide.
But 1t is a pity that his
authentic counsel was not ac-
cepted as a guide in better
time.
More than five years ago,
Captain Rickenbacker wrote
n series of articles on mill
tary aviation for the Hearst
newspapers saying:
For the sake Of peace.

The Hearst newspapers
had several reasons for pub
fishing the articles.
For one thing. they knew
Captain Rickenbacker knew
what he was writing about.
He had commanded the 9th
aero pursuit squadron of the
American air force in France
in the first world war, the
first American air unit TO par
ticipate actively on the west
ern front. The squadron as a
whole had 60 officially ac-
credited victories during the
war, of which, 20 were per-
sonally accounted for by
Captain Rickenbacker.
So he was not only the out
standing American lace" of
the first world war, but one
of the most successful COM
bat filters among all the forces
involved.
Not only that, but he sub
sequently became as success
full and outstanding in COM
mercial aviation after the
