AMERICA THIS YEAR

It is estimated that the United States will produce something like 25,000 fighter planes this year, and that Britain will receive nearly half of them.

Bombors, also, are coming in formidable numbers-numbers increase as the American factories get into full swing on mass production of their various types,

No fewer than 36 different types of American aircraft, rang- ing from the swiftest fighters to training planes, are on order or have been delivered to the R.A.F.

At least 26,000 aircraft are being built for Britain in the States, but even that figure does not indicate the number which future orders will bring to us.

are

Of the 30 types on order it can be disclosed that at least six fighters, eight are machines for the Bomber Command, five, or maybe six, for the Coastal Command, three for the Training Command.

They were members of the Roman Catholic Bishop's domestic staff.

Three high explosive bombs hit his house.

After rescue workers, including three pelests, had toiled in vain, for many hours, they found that they had been tramping over a delayed action bomb buried in the ruins.
