Notwithstanding Increasing supplies from America, our own production must continue to be of first Importance.
In February, we produced more operational aircraft, bombers and fighters, than ever before.
In March we achieved another record, with two and a half times the production of last year.

Here he dropped his bomb and at ten o'clock next morning was recounting his ex- periences in technical terms.
Speaking of engines, the Min's- ter described those of American manufacture 05 "indeed most valuable and of excellent quality.”
The Sabre engine, he said, was perhaps one of the greatest en- gines ever produced, and he con- tinued: "We are worlding types in that will be quite surprising the power that can be, delivered from limited size and small weight."-British Wireless...
