GERMANS IN PERIL
OF LOSING PLANES
Arnold Promises Larger
Bombers For Raids On
Nazis In Future

LONDON, Sept. 4. - Up - The
Germans, thus far unable to stop
allied bombers, are in peril Of los
ing their own airforce and even
tually the war, Gen. Henry H.
Arnold, chief of the U. S. Army
Air forces, said today.
And he promised that both the
strained Luftwaffe and the ha-
raised German home front will in
''the near future" be hit by far
bigger bombers less vulnerable to
weather than Flying Fortresses.
eff the Germans don't stop our
(allied) bombers," said Arnold,
"they won't have any air force
left. And without any air force
they won't be able to continue the
war"
The new bombers Arnold men
toned are those which he de-
scribed in a recent service maya
zine article - bigger, with over
twice the bomb load of a Fortress,
and with greater range and fire
power.
Arnold disclosed that ''We are
progressing with the development
of planes, crews and technique for
the British based tactical air
force" and added: when the time
comes for the continental invasion
we will do what the tactical air
force in northwest Africa did so
brilliantly in Tunisia and Sicily
