On the Probation Front
One Year of War
Annual Statement Reveals
Aircraft Industry Meeting
the Supreme Test

EAST HARTFORD, CONN.,, Mar. s.
Production record of the aviation industry
during the first year of Americas participa-
ton in this war contrasts sharply with that
of the first World War.
That IS the highlight Of the annual report
by United Aircraft Corporation to it's stock
holders for / 942 made public today. 1t points
out that before the last war there was no
American aviation industry and little aero
nautical knowledge No going or proven
designs existed. Few American-built air.
planes reached combat in spite of vast sums
expended during the Is months of war.
Pearl Harbor, however, found United and
the entire industry ready. Designs developed
during peacetime were available for imme-
date production. Before non-aircraft COM
panles could be trained and brought into
production, the entire burden of aerial de-
tense OF the nation rested squarely upon
the small but dynamic aviation industry.
Their products have long been in action in
every corner Of the world
United Beats Production Schedule.
Development of designs to be instantly
ready for national emergency was the goal
toward which United and its predecessor
companies pointed for almost two decades,
the report states. Thanks to this deliberate
policy, United itself turned out more air.
craft engines, propellers and airplanes last
year than were called for even by the ex-
banded schedules put into effect year ago.
simultaneously, it helped licensee COM
panles into production of its designs, devot-
ed itself to improving its types, and devel-
oped still more advanced models
With the welfare of the nation regarded
as its first responsibility, United Aircraft,
in company with the rest of the aviation
industry, has held to two principles laid
down in 1926 by the Morrow Board and
strongly endorsed ever since by the Army
and Navy. A strong oirforce is essential for
national security. A sound private industry
IS the backbone for such a force. Striving
for these detectives, United had dual re-
sponsibllity. 1t had to have unexcelled types
available and it had to be flexible enough to
absorb the initial shock of quantity produc-
ton while passing its technique along to
others.

BIimps Help Clear Atlantic Waters

Goodyear blimps on ceaseless patrol have
helped make the American shoreline un-
healthy for U-boats.
Powered with Pratt & Whitney engines
and equipped with Hamilton Standard fixed
pitch propelers, these Navy K-ships are op-
Grating far from shore in ever-growing
numbers Able to travel faster than a sub
marine, they can also hover motionless over
any spot where it is suspected that U-boat
lies submerged in the hope of escaping de-
lection. Depth bombs do the rest.

Speed and More Speed

Together the three divisions met the three
main equirements-speed speed and more
speed. One of the cleanest airplanes in serv-
ice, the skin is entirely spot welded and flush
riveted to eliminate resistance by tiny rivet
heads. Even air scoops have been built into
the wing.
Adding to its graceful lines is the distinc-
tive gull wing, developed naturally as the
design progressed. The enormous horse
power called for an exceptionally large pro-
peller, necessitating extra height from which
to swing clear of the carrier deck. The gull
wing solved this problem, and at the same
time permitted the wing to spring from
the round fuselage at right angles, giving
maximum aerodynamic efficiency.

The performance of this brilliant feat re-
veals the commercial airlines as timely
asset to a nation at war, according to Off
GERS of United Aircraft Corporation. It
also demonstrates anew the proven depend
ability of the American-built transports in
this global service, over 95 per cent of which
are powered by Pratt & Whitney engines,
and all of which are driven by Hamilton
Standard propellers.

Teamwork Counts

The entire development program, it was
declared, has been greatly facilitated by the
teamwork between Army and Navy and air.
craft engineers. The Military, experts in
their field, know what performance they re-
quire for tactical purposes. Private initiative
creates products to meet those needs. To-
gether they bring steady flow of improve
ments, thus insuring unequalled quality for
American air equipment.

United Employees Back
Fighting Men with War Bonds

Ninety per cent of all the employees Of
the United Aircraft Corporation have
pledged 10 per cent and more of their pay
checks to purchase War Bonds. In other
words, they make the propellers, the en-
gines and the planes and are paid for their
work, but with their purchase of War Bonds
they are helping to pay for the very prod
ucts they build. The total amount of
their weekly contribution is approximately
$250,000.

Built BY a Design Team

Another first is the fact that the three
major parts--airframe, engine and propeller
have been built by separate units of one
corporation acting together as one design
team. Chance Vought engineers designed
the airframe to get the most out Of the power
afforded by the Pratt & Whitney Double
Wasp; Pratt & Whitney engineers cooper
ated in the proper design for its installation;
while Hamilton Standard engineers devel-
oped the propeller best suited to assure that
the 1000 horses would be harnessed most
efficiently.

of Russia. During Marshal Won
Brauchitsch's leadership the army
made an agreement with Ukraine
nationalists that in case of a Ger
man-Russian conflict Ukraine
state would be established with its
own army to Cooperate with Ger
many.
To the surpriSe-and joy-of the
Kremlin, the Germans failed to Or
ganize the Ukraine in that way. A
greater part of the territory came
under Nazi civil administration
Erich Koch, gauleiter of East Prus-
sia, became "the hangman of the
Ukraine and started to clean house
of the nationalists. Ukrainians were
treated like slaves.
Now a great partisan force in the
Ukraine is directing fight against
both the Russians and the Germans.
Among Germany's allies Finland
has won the greatest admiration
but the NaZis still are unable to sup
press their anger over the Finn s
refusal to join the three power coal
itlon and declare solidarity with the
Reich. Finland is carrying on it's
own war and can make its own
peace. but there is small chance
that Germany will allow the nation
to 60 voluntarily.
Without question, Germany's
greatest and most powerful ally is
Japan. 1t is to be expected that
hearty feelings should exist between
the Germans and the japanese, but
no one can stay for long in Ger
many without discovering the simple
truth that the Japanese are not
popular. Peculiarly enough, the

average German feels the British
always will win the last battle. Also,
he instinctively admires the British.
The Nazis know this. They do their
best to counteract it with propa-
ganda. The campaign against the
British has outdone even that Waged
| against the Jews.
The Germans know little of what
is taking place in England. The
British seem to be far better in
formed on conditions in Germany.
The British Secret Service has been
known to spin the entire German
nation in its web. After the war
we may learn how high ranking
Nazis had worked for the British
for years.
Stain Feared.
AS for Russia, by the end of the
autumn of 1912 everyone was scared
that the Nazis might capitulate to
Premier Stain. This alternative, it
must be admitted, has not been en-
tirely eliminated
Some high officers, following the
line Of Gen Won Seeckt, want Ger
many to work for a coalition be-
tween the great continental powers
Within the German army, though,
the general conception is that Ger
many must defend herself to the
utmost in the east and could think
of capitulating only to the western
powers
When the German armies came
up against the Russians they met
enemies with quite a different men,
tality. The Germans had the idea
the Russians were living in indc-
scribable misery and they. the Ger
mans. felt they were fighting .or
better world.
The German troops mad no illu-
sions as to their fate if caught by
the Russians. That is why they
fought so stubbornly.
Russians Were Executed.
That the Germans started to exc
cute many Russian prisoners is un-
deniable. Eyewitnesses described
the executions. The Nazis defended
this policy with the statement that
they had no food and insufficient
men to guard the prisoners. They
said they killed them painlessly-
with gas
The German military leadership
shortly took vigorous action to halt
the slayings.

ness was reflected in the invasion

Chinese are popular. The German
people still have a feeling that
Emperor Wilhelm. II was not en-
tirely wrong when he warned
against the yellow" danger.
German irritation over Japan is
due to Japans unwillingness to at
tack Soviet Russia. The only thing
Japan would do was try to make a
separate peace between Germany
and Russia. The Berlin Toxic Axis
