Jap Plane Losses
In SoIomons ID to I

GAUDALCANALs, Aug. 27 L4) de-
laye0 American flyers of the Sol
onions Air Force and American
ground defenses maintained a supe-
riority ratio of nearly IA to l in de-
stroying 19l japanese planes in the
Solomons area last month.
Maj. Gen. Nathan F. Twining
commanding the newest combat
group in the South Pacific, cited
these enemy losses at a press con-
ference today and disclosed that
American losses during the same
period, between July 25 and August
26, were only IA fighter planes. Six
American pilots were rescued.
The Solomons air commander was
particularly proud of the fighter
plane record in protecting American
vessels hauling cargo to troops who
have pressed within 80 miles of Jap
anese-held Bougainville Island in
the Northern Solomons, despite con-
tinual heavy Japanese assaults.
The generals figures show Amer
lean fighters downed 100 enemy
fighters, l6 dive bombers, one me-
dium bomber and Is float-type
planes during the month. American
bombers felled 36 Japanese fighters
while night fighters brought down
two enemy medium bombers. Anti
aircraft guns accounted for one jap
anese fighter, l3 divebombers, 6
medium bombers and one float
plane.
One of the strange features Of
the present aerial campaign" "a d
Gen. Twining. is the a5~c,ce of
any sizeable number of Japanese
medium bombers."

Mccain said.
Admiral Mccain urged all men,
bers of the naval air arm to con-
tinue "the unrelenting punishment
we have given the enemy from the
air until he is utterly defeated"
He predicted that the dozen or
SO new combat carriers launched
since Pearl Harbor will help bring
about the complete defeat" of
Japan.
An undisclosed number of "baby
fiat tops" are in action or nearly
ready for battle, the Navy said, to
augment the fleet of giant carriers
The Navy added that 27,500 bomb
ing, fighting and cargo planes will
be in naval service by the end of
1943.
Admiral George Dewey, hero of
the battle of Manila Bay, ordered
establishment of the naval air force
30 years ago. The branch consisted
of 38 officers, 1853 men and 54 planes
at the start of the World War. To-
day the Navy has a 3O,OO0-a-year
pilot training program and is

United States Navy today is without
a superior in all the world"
Like her predecessor, the new
Hornet was built at the plant of the
Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry
Dock Co., had the same sponsor,
Mrs. Knox, and the same matrons of
honor, Mrs. Ralph A. Bard, wife of
the Assistant Secretary of Navy, and
Mrs. Rawleigh Warner of Winnetka,
Ill.
A survivor of the first carrier
Hornet, Comdr. Edward B. Harp, jr.,
U. S. N, of Hagerstown, Md, de-
livered the invocation at today's
launching ceremony.
