arrangements made by the Treasury
called for $3o,OOO,oOO of the total
be subscribed by small individual
purchases.
"The exact number of planes
cannot be revealed for reasons of
security. 1t may be revealed, how
ever, that the project includes three
types of planes-fghters, dive bomb
ers and torpedo bombers, which
range in price from $4,000 to
$l35, ,000."
