Air
THERE is much talk
about British and German "reserves of air- craft," but little attempt to explain the term to the public.
Why, when the produc- tion of aircraft is counted in thousands a year, do we see comparatively few warplanes in action at a time either side?
on
That is what the aver-. age citizen wants to know, and doesn't find out.
I will try to explain the mystery-but first, I am afraid, I must add to it by saying that there is a multiplicity of factors in this question of reserves --and they are all pulling
in different directions.
Fighter Reserves
Consider one type of aircraft the fighter. This type, because of its functions, its high speed, its small size, and conse- quent ease of reproduc- tion, is regarded as an "expendable" type.
A very large reserve of this type of aircraft is needed, whether it be em- ployed in defence or in offensive sweeps.
In offensive sweeps the reserve of aircraft needed would be higher-though not much-because-figh- ters which crash. over enemy territory cannot be recovered.
Now consider the pilots for these aircraft.
If employed in defence, the reserve of pilots re- quired would be compara- tively small, except in a crisis. But in offensive sweeps the reserve must be larger.
In the first case you see, pilots of our aircraft, if shot down, are often "re- coverable," while in the second case they are not
in they remain the hands of the enemy.
"Luxury" Craft
Now take an aircraft at the opposite end of this scale the Sunderland.
These planes, because of their complexity, size, ex- pense and slow replace- ment, are not regarded as an expendable type, and are therefore not used on uneconomic missions.
Furthermore, they are comfortable aircraft to fly in, and do not put the same stress on their crews that the smaller, more un- comfortable and faster aircraft impose.
Hence the question of reserves of aircraft and crews for this large type of aircraft cannot be judged at all by fighter standards.
Now look at another aspect damage caused in. a fight or by anti-aircraft fire, or-by landing in bad weather.
Reserves
By Air Commodore P. F. M. Fellowes, D.S.O.
Here again the problem yaries with the type of aircraft concerned, being affected greatly by the part of the world in which the damage is done.
A Long Life
For instance in and around Britain larger re- serves of bomber aircraft are required to maintain first-line strength than would be required in the Middle East.
Weather conditions are more difficult here--and, of course, the opposition from Nazi fighters and anti-aircraft fire is much fiercer.
On the other hand, re- serves in the Middle East -though less. affected by these factors-must be large enough to meet the greater difficulty of re- placement.
Fortunately, the techni- que and maintenance of the R.A.F., and the quality of its machines, are of a high order.
Our planes, then-sub- jeet to the fortunes of war have a reasonably long
life.
This factor, by itself, reduces the size of the re- serve we need. But the very excellence of the air- craft makes repair work a lengthy business, and so, paradoxically,
increases
the needed reserve again.
Complications
Again, because we are a widely-spread Empire, the time required to pack, load and transport-and then to unpack and re- erect in the land where operations are în progress -enhances the need for a
large reserve.
And there are still more- complications.:
We must not forget that pilots and air-crews are only human beings. Liv-

ing under high nervous stress, they must be treat- ed and considered more than like accumulators normal routine workers.
They can only be used a certain number of times and for a certain length. of time before they use up their nervous energy and have to be given not only prolonged rest but change of occupation.
Also, of course, we must take into consideration the intensity of the war.
Probably the most ex- pensive form of warfare in reserves is the Blitz system, where everything is thrown in "regardless" particularly the dive- bombers.
To maintain a Blitz Over one week, the re- serves of crews for front- line aircraft may be twice as high as it is for ordin- ary bombers or fighters.
The fully-trained crew of a bomber may take a year to train, and of a fighter, three-quarters of a year. Aircraft of either type, of course, can be built in a much shorter period.

It follows, therefore, that the production of trained men

production of aircraft.
And this situation compli- cales our question of reserves yet a little more by raising the demand for training air- craft.
From all this-without go- ing into figures which must be secret-we can at least see one thing plainly:-
If we hear of à country pro- ducing, any, 30,000 aircraft a year, we can safely assume, after deducting training air- craft and the necessary re- serves of all types, that only n very small proportion of that number is available at one time for first-line operations.
One-tenth is a fair propor- tion, I think-and of that re: duced force, 50 per cent must ordinarily be kept for defence. All the sume, this rather comforting analysis must not be allowed to affect our judg-. ment of what could be done in one great moment of carefully-prepared, intensive effort, such as an invasion of this country.
Nazi Plans
In such a moment-though the effort could not be sus- fained for long-the Germans could effectively bring a very large number of aircraft, supplemented by gliders, into action against us.
My own opinion is that they have been building up their reserves for some such effort.
though whether it will break Enst or West In still to be seen.
If we know how many gliders or troop-carriers' they had built, wo could forecnat their intention with
