American Planes For Far East Air Defence
ALTHOUGH DRITAIN'S NEED FOR AIRCRAFT IN THE EUROPEAN THEATRE OF WAR IS SAID TO BE AS ACUTE AS EVER, BRITISH AUTHORITIES HAVE BEEN SENDING A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF AMERICAN-MADE BOM- BEPT AND PURSUIT SHIPS TO SINGAPORE DURING THE PAST SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS, WRITES JOSEPH G. HARRI- SON, IN THE "CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR."
Information as to size of these shipments varies, but it is known that past and potential shipments amount to several hun- dred of the fast fighting craft.
Thus, within the past six weeks Britain is known to have! shipped approximately 190 Brewster "Buffalo" pursuit planes to the Far East from the United States. Aviation experts that in Washington contend these ships, which have seen service in their air war over Europe, are more than a match for any ship that Japan can put in the air against them...
There is also good reason to believe that some of the powerful long-range -"ying boat" bombers, built by the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation and known as PB1Ys, and PD2Ys, are being flown or shipped from the west count to British airfields in the For East.
