1913 Boeing deliveries Of Flying Fortresses
were nearly twice those Of 1912, sixteen times
those Of l94l. (And accelerated production
continued. In 1914 - January was double

than January and nearly $50 higher than

First deliveries Of the Boeing BIO Super.
fortresses were made in 1913. No other
airplane has been assigned as important re-
sponsibility for the future conduct Of the war.
The BIG, like the BIZ, is Boeing-engineered,

At the same time, costs of manufacturing
were 50 reduced that Boeing Flying Fortresses
cost your government substantially less per
airplane in lo43 than ever before These
economies were made possible by attaining
the highest efficiency in the use of manpower,
equipment and factory floor space.
The efficiency of Boeing' manpower utiliza-
tion is illustrated by the production of Flying
Fortresses in its Seattle plant. In Chart A,
Boeing shows an average of IL pounds of
completed airplane per man hour. The heavy
bomber plant with the next best record aver
aged g pounds of airplane per man hour.
The average of the leading seven plants build.
ing heavy bombers in 1943 was S pounds,
and that for the entire industry, including all
types of airplanes, 3 pounds.
0n 1914, even greater efficiency was
achieved. In March of this year, Boeing set a
new high record of IL pounds of arplane
produced per man hour,)
Many things contributed to this efficiency.
First of all, tribute must be paid to those
deserving men and women whose skills and
enterprise are the basic tools of all Boeing
production.
Important, too, is a concerted, continuous
program of simplifcation of the individual

Controlling the Missouri River and
turning its water to the development
of the vast region through which 1t
flows, presents problems different
from those of the Tennessee, but
that does not mean that these are
insoluble problems. They are mere

the eight valley States from future
participation in proceedings of this
kind. 1t believes that now is the
time to develop Missouri Valley
Authority on the lines of the COM
pletely successful Tennessee Valley
Authority.
The effort is to put an end to
the competition between the various
States and congressional districts OF
that great region for special con-
sideration in matters of irrigation,
navigation, power and flood control,
and an end to the rivalry between
Government agencies having to do
with these important Government
operations.
Congressman Receptive.
If the editors in the eight States
follow the lead offered them, there
is reason to believe they will find
many Senators responsive. Had the
present proposal been launched be-
fore the logs started to roll in the
House, it is quite likely that House
members would have been found
receptive also. For members Of both
houses have become little weary
of the pulling and hauling, the trad
ing of votes, the local pressures,
that accompany the rivers and har-
bors bill. Many of them would well
come system that would not only
make more sense but would be
easier on their private consciences.
In the iva they have found the
system and 1t remains only to be
SHOWN how it can be applied to the
Missouri Valley.
1t may be that some Senator or
Representative from some other Sec
tion of the country will make it his
mission to do for the Missouri River
States what George w. Norris of
Nebraska did for the States in the
Tennessee Valley. Norris success
could have been due in part to the
very fact that his home was outside
the Tennessee region and he was
thus free from any taint of local
interest. He was able to argue
what has since been proved-that
iva would be good not merely for
Tennessee and the South, but for
the whole Nation, and his motives,
at least, could not be suspected.
OF National Interest.
The Nations interest in the Mis-
souri, River is much more clear than
its interest in the Tennessee. When
the Missouri goes on one of its Pc
riodic rampages the whole country
suffers disaster, not merely the
farmers who lose their topSoil and
livestock, not merely the villages
and towns damaged by inundation,
but q whole country that needs in
these days the production and pros
perity of all its parts. Every other
State had an interest in the water
that went to waste this spring. This
fact is recognized by the Federal
Government, now providing relief
loans to those people in the Missouri
River region who were the imme-
diate victims of the food. But the
diversion of national funds to relief
represents only small part of the

@. Have any wild animals been
domesticated in modern times?-
G.. r.
A. There is no written record OF

@. Is there any real evidence Of

has said in this connection that q
survey of the solar system forces
us to the conclusion that 1t con-
tains no place other than our earth

all resembling that existing on
earth. The other planets are ruled
out largely by unsuitable tempera-
lures.

IS inches from the front.
Q. Has Europe any trees that
compare in size with the big trees
of California?-J. v.
A. While there is none so large as
the California sequoia, large speci-
mems are found in sections of Rus
sia and in the forested parts of
Germany and the Balkans.
@. Who originated the claw and

complex operations so that they could be
handled by inexperienced or quickly trained
men and women. more than 500 of Boeing
factory workers are women.)
As shown in Chart B, Boeing in March,
1914, had approximately the same number of
workers as in December, l94l. Yet the pro.
duction was sic times as great. Present man
hours required to build BIZ G. Flying
Fortress, the latest model, are less than 1919
of the man hours required for the construc.
tion of the first BIZ E Flying Fortress, the
model in production at the beginning of the
war. This is particularly noteworthy since
the BIZ G is a considerably heavier airplane
with many new installations not included in
the B.l7E.
Boeing's comparative record in the effective
use of floor area is shown in Chart C.. The
Boeing average of 1923 pounds of airplane
produced monthly per square foot of direct
factory floor area is far above the aircraft
industry average of l.3 pounds, and con-
siderably higher than the 2.5 showing of the
next best heavy bomber plant.
By the combination of these factors, then,
Boeing was enabled to give you more for

government bought in l943.
Boeing received total of $4o3, ,376, POP in
l943 for the various airplane products it built.
500 of the gross receipts went to vendors
and subcontractors, most of them small busi-
nesses. They supplied Boeing with materials
and parts used in production and required
for the repair and maintenance of equipment
and buildings.
