Victory i'm Air Assured as u S. Plants Swung into Gear

until the Spring of 1910. Then,
having swept over Continental
Europe, the Nazis prepared for
summer and fall "blitz"
against England. When that
stalled, (even though at one
time the British had only five
fighters in reserve) Hitler be-
gan his air offensive over the
Atlantic, an effort which reach
ed a peak in the Spring of l941.
BY the late summer of that
year, the Germans, busy in Rus
STA, Greece and the Mediterran-
can and harrassed by the British
counter-air offensive, assumed
a defensive attitude. The Nazis
concentrated their long range
air effort in Norway for use
against shipping to Russia in
the spring of 1912, lessened their
efforts against channel shipping
and resumed attacks on British
cities. The close of 1912 saw
the German airforce with new
problems. The Allies had land
ed in North Africa, and the final
counter-attack of the British in
Egypt was under way.

were available in small num-
bers.
The Army graduated only
SOC pilots, COL navigators and
$40 bombardiers in l94l. In
1913 it graduated $4,000 pilots
1873 navigators, 1898 bonn.
bardiers, 8l,398 aerial gunners
and 5l3,333 technicians. BY
early 1914 il was able to level
off It's training program and 10
straighten the upward curve OF
aircraft production, which had
reached $4,000 planes in l943.
Naval Aviation underwent a
similar expansion, along with
Marine Corps flying. Except for
their part in the war on the Nazi
submarine, however, neither
figured substantially in the
European air war. The Navy
put its escort carrier or Baby
Flattop" program into action
against considerable criticism
but was able to show by late
1913 that the torpedo bombers
and fighters which flew from
the little decks had earned by
far the greatest share Of the
credit for reducing the U-Boat
danger in the Atlantic.
Germany entered the war
with somewhere between $500
and $500 first line warplanes
and a reserve estimated at so
per cent. The total of her mill
tary planes, many of them train
ers, was estimated at the time
by various European sources at
5000 to $4,000, with most es-
Inmates near $4,000. Nazi plane
production then was placed at
close to 1000 a month, with a
potential capacity of possibly
5000.
Russian air strength was
placed in the vicinity of Ger
many's, with a considerably
smaller productive capacity.
Like Germany, Russia had
largely a tactical airforce.
Britain was reported to have
1000 to $500 planes in combat
operating squadrons in 1889,
with about two-thirds as many
in reserve. Her monthly pro-
duction was estimated at less
than 700 and her additional
at no more than $500.
The French airforce was es-
timated at about 1000, with so
per cent reserve and monthly
production of 100 to 200 planes.
AS a practical matter, it was of
little Importance what France,
Poland, The Netherlands, Nor
way and Greece had in the way
of air power. None of thep had
a chance.
There was little air activity

$1,000 tons OF explosives on
Germany. Failure TO reach Rus
sian factories with long. range

with sufficient supply sources TO
stay in the war.
The Allies made no such mis-
takes. American and British
aircraft constantly reached be-

Mustangs time after time avoid

1t was not until Germany'S
productive capacity had been
greatly reduced that American
fighter pilots were allowed to
engage in dog-fighting. That
came in the Spring Of 1914, and
the purpose was to reduce the
enemy'S frontline fighter force.

Another was arming the bomb

New equipment for protection

CHICAGO W.D-A world pop
ulation of at least three billion
by the year 1000 is predicted by
Frank w. Notcstein of the Office
Of Population Research, Prince
ton University.
Notestein spoke before a group
Of food specialists gathered on
the University of Chicago cam
pus for the 10th Institute of the
Harris Foundation.
The population OF the United
States is expected to reach ap-
proximately 100 million by 1870
and then taper off. The figure
for northwestern and central
Europe is reaching level and
is expected to drop off after
1850.
Meanwhile. the populations of
Soviet Russia and japan are
skyrocketing. Japan's popula-
ton rose from 35 million in 1870
TO 70 million in 1910 and should.
Notestein said, reach approx
mately 95 million by 1870. Aus
tralia and New Zealand arc ex-
pected to hold FL million at the
beginning of the next century
double their present number.
Africa is given a $50 million
population for the year 1000.
Asia alone in that year probably
will have the current 19 billion
population of the globe.

Germany never had chance
IN the air once American pro-
ductive capacity was realized.
United States bombers flew
to overseas bases while baby
Aircraft Carriers smashed paths
through Nazi U-Boats for ships
carrying fighters and fuel. Then
the bombers and fighters joined
in smuggling Hitler's war machine
at its source.
The German airforce had ac-
companied German ground fore
es into Poland, Norway, The
Netherlands, France, Russia and
the Balkans. The Allied plan
made the airforce the predeces-
sor of the surface elements.
It was a bold plan which call
ed for vast resources, cold CAL
culation of cost In men and
planes and daring execution.
Actual losses never caught up
with the estimated risks.

build up productive capacity,
train pilots and crews and map

tactics of 1912 and began 10
evidence itself in relatively
small raids in the spring of 1943.
BY December of that year the
size of the offensives had in
creased to around 1000 bomb
ers, near the top level planned.
The idea was not to bring
Germany to its knees with air
power alone, although that
would have been a welcome re-
suit. It was to soften the enc
my's defenses as much as pos
sible by Systematically destroy
ing factories, smashing storage
areas, wrecking transportation
facilities and, in the final phase,
knocking out supply dumps and
harrassing enemy forces at or
lust behind the battleline.
Germany had never equipped
herself to fight that kind of air
war. The Luftwaffe was de-
signed primarily for tactical
use in close support of ground
operations. Germany had long
range bombers. but not in num-
bers or equipment to do the job.
She had not needed them against
her small, near neighbors.

RUSSIA WOULD HELP
The one factor that might

the war against Japan in the eX-

If Russia decides to participate
actively with its ground and air
forces against Japanese mill
tary might concentrated in Man
churia and Korea, a decision
could come in relatively short
time.
On the other hand. il the
Russians decide on a hands
policy but grant air bases for the
use of Americans in Siberia. it
will have comparatively little
effect in speeding the end. In
the first place. American mill
tary authorities see little advan-
tage in Siberian air bases. Such
bases would be even more diff
cult to supply than those already
in American possession in the
Pacific.
Thus. because Of the uncer-
tainty of Russias position. Am
erican strategy for the destruc-
ton of Japan's military power
remains essentially what it has
been through all of 1914. This,
in brief, calls for a push across
the Pacific through the Philip
pines to the China coast. Once
Chinese ports become available,
it would be possible not only to
concentrate American mobile
forces on the China mainland to
meet the great bulk of Japan S
land army, but TO get materials
and supplies to China's vast
fighting forces.
Meanwhile. the American
