cation.

Russis's Air Force

The other article is by Maj.
Nathaniel F. Silsbee. chief OF
the research section, Bureau &
Public Relations, army aRN
forces. Major Silsbee was here
recently for a lecture and also
accompanied Capt. Eddie Rick
enbacker on his tour Of De.
troit plants. Writing in Sky
ways" for March. he gives an
informative and stirring account
of Russia's air force.
Major Silsbee says in his ar
ticle that Germany knew the
Russian air strength as far back
as 1895 and maintained that IL
was the only nation capable OF
conducting warfare for an in
definite period. In 1910, Arthur
Mutt, then president Of the So.
ciety OF Automotive Engineers,
returned from Russia with the
information that Russia was
turning out planes on larger
scale than the United States.
Major SilSbee points out that
we know less Of Russian heavy
bomber than of their fighter
planes which stopped the Helm
kels and the MeSserschmitts
and the Focke-W ulfs. Despite
the. loss Of industrial territory.
Russia's production OF aircraft
and engines is still believed 10
be considerable.
