Characterized in some informed

some unofficial estimates ran as
high as 3,000-screaming down
upon the Ruhr manufacturing
metropolis.
Twenty-three Raj bomb e r S

which was driven home to the
target in the face of enemy anti
aircraft and night fighter resist
ance that was fierce at first but
faded as the overwhelming impact
of the raid made itself felt.

WHAT LEADERS THINK

The men who are directing the
job of defeating Germany give you
the emphatic impression that they
first must destroy or nulhfy the
Nazi air force and then defeat the
German army militarily. They ex-
pect 10 meet the greatest opposi-
ton on the Nazis' home grounds.
Since war in the air is the first
key TO our success. how do we
compare 10 the Axis in air power
and airplane production?
1t is estimated that Germany
now has between 5000 and 5000
first-line planes scattered from
Russia TO France to Tunisia. They
produce an estimated 5000 planes
q month and the Italians perhaps
600-a total of less than 1000 q
month.
PUT OUT 10000 A MONTH
There is no important indication
that quality of Axis plane produc.
ton or fuel has fallen off. On the
contrary, new models are being in.
troduced.
The United Nations are esti.
mated to produce around 10000
planes a month. including al
types, of which Britain and Russia
