►

ALTHOUGH BRITAIN'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- BERT 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 experis in Washington contend that 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 belleve that some of the powerful long-range "ying beat" bombera, built by thei Consolidated Aircraft Corporation and known as PBIYs, and PB2Ys, fre being flown or shipped from the west coast to British airfields in the Far)

East.
