GERMAN STRENGTH
IN THE AIR
General Goring's Boast
(Special Air Mall Service)
London, May 9, General Goring, the Air Minister. declared to-day that the German Air Force was now so strong that any Power attacking Germany would have to face a very, very
hard struggle in the air." There was not a single old aeroplane or a single old air engine in the Ger- man fleet, and its material was the
most modern in existence, The statement was made at a lun- cheon of the Berlin. Foreign Press Association, at which the General
and his wife were guests of KON-

General Goring began by saying that when, in the past, he had stated that Germany had no air fleet he had not been telling an untruth. It was a fact that, when Herr Hitler took power, only some few out-of-date types, which could hardly be described as experiment- al machines, were available, But he had always emphasized that Germany would be at pains to create a defensive ait arm, as was Her absolute right. He had never left any doubt that Germany would be forced to arm upwards unless the other Powers decided on air disarmament, because the sec urity of the nation in the air had been entrusted to him by the Fuhrer.
