MAJOR DE SEVERSKY
THE Battle of salerno. which

THE Battle of Salerno, which
= Prime Minister Churchill
has described as "the most dar-
ing amphibious operation we
have yet launched or which has
ever been launched on similar
scale" deserves closer analysis
from the aerial vantage point
Not only was the action itself
crucial. but the things it demon
strated about war making in
the airpower epoch are highly
significant.
To begin with, it is clear that
what made the operation so
daring" so full Of hazards, "
was the fact that the landing
on the Salerno shores was made
at the very outside rim of our
umbrella of land-based air pro-
lection. Our land planes could
just about reach the area, but
with gasoline so depleted that
they must Immediately start
for home again. As the prime
minister summed il up:
From the Gulf of Salerno

The members of this commit
tee based their criticism of GER
tain things, the administration
OF lend-lease, for instance, not
on what the British were doing.
but on what AMERICAN AID
ILLUSTRATORS were doing.
Our British cousins should
bear in mind that for more than
a decade these senator's have
been accustomed TO the sQuan-
dering of American taxpayers
mon :, by New Deal spend
thriftS, on scale of the most
fantastic prodigalitys
pUT the senator's were shocked
- TO discover that the same
prodigality has been extended
into the field of lend-lease.
As Senator Reynolds of North
Carolina said in defending these
colleagues from undeserved and
h j IN ly impairment criticism,
after this war the United States
probably will emerge "a bank
rupt nation"
Congress is trying at long
last to conserve something Of
American resources. When they
are exhausted. what will the
small busted nations do then?
The rest Of the world should
welcome evidence of American
economy.
So should the British press.

we were at the extreme range

quered Sicilian fields. Until we

beyond the range of supporting

done despite the sad lesson in
Tunlsia. when American forces
suffered serious losses and set
backs because they had VEN
tured beyond effective aerial
cover.
But while Salerno showed up
our serious handicap by reason
of insufficient range in fighter
planes, it also demonstrated the
great brillIance of the Allied
air chiefs.

sence il amounted to this: The
effective range of the fighter
bomber planes was nearly dou-
bled by unique and successful
employment of carrier based
aviation. The shore-based avia-
ton was used primarily TO pro-
vide an impregnable air cover
for the carriers. and the carrier
based planes were in that way
released to provide a cover for
the transports, warships and
ground forces at Salerno.

safely under an umbrella of
land-based fighters. enabling the
Seafires in turn to open up an
umbrella of air protection over
the Salerno theater.
Indirectly the improvisation
underlined once more the new
doctrine that navies cannot to-
day approach enemy shores that
are adequately shielded by the
enemy's land-based air power.
Specifically ii might look as if
this doctrine has been dis
proven-at Salerno battleships
did provide artillery support TO
the landing forces under cover
of carrier-borne planes. But
closer analysis shows that this
could happen only because the
carriers enjoyed the support of
land-based aviation. That was
the telltale condition that guar
anteed the survival of the car
riers. normally exceedingly vul-
nerable.
BECAUSE air power. in addi-
- tioin to supporting ground
troops at Salerno had to protect
the battleships. the play became
exceedingly complicated. Land
based planes from Sicily had 10
support the carriers. Carrier
planes had TO support the battle
ships, so that the battleships
could support the landing forces.
The improvisation speaks well
for the skill and presence Of
mind of Allied air commanders.

pertinent bearing on our stra-
tegy in the Pacific. and I Shall
