NAZIS TO BUILD Berlin WOODEN PLANES No Word
HITLER and Goering have urgently ordered Messerschmit aircraft engineers to put into operation a scheme for the mass production
Achter of new 'planes,
From the end of February the new 'planes will have to be made of wood, owing to the lack of aluminium. (There is enough
steel to last till the middle of April).
AIM
Alesserschmitt factories have been experimenting with wooden machines. Up till now they have constructed only a few proto- types, because the only suitable wood-Caucasian walnut-has to come from Rusala.
As a result of the recent Rumo- German agreements, supplies are now to be delivered to German factories, and the engineers have undertaken to start mass pro- duction on July 1.
The prototypes already built will be used to train pilots in the new flying technique required by the wooden 'planes.
They will be the lightest and fastest the German air force has over had. Construction is en- tirely of wood, except for steel bands 14mm. thick used to bind the laths together.
