From the latter the first 1 of the Royal Canadian Air Force has ar- ind. It is the vanguard of an armada which is expected to develop 15,000 trained pilots a The British believe that with their home | s ‘this will be enough to tip the balance of air flying power definitely against Germany. Canads at war effort is concentrated in the air. On the Canadian prairies the full resources of three Dominions are being pooled in the Common- wealth Air Training Plan, Canadians are confident | that they can supply 4t least 10,000 pilots, air ob-| servers, gunners and radio men annually. Australia | and New Zealand will each send 2,500 more from | their home fields for final training. The cost of the plan, allocated among the three Dominions and | the United Kingdom, has been set at $800,000,000 over a three-year period. Canada, highly air-minded, already has about 20 suitable airdromes and 60| more are being added. Canadian plane factories are operating at top speed, and both training and fighting craft are coming from the United States. For every man sent into the air ten are necessary on the ground, and these crews are under intensive training. By May of this year the Commonwealth plan should be under full power. Toward the end of the last war Canadians made up 40 percent of the R.AF. Major Bishop, the Canadian ace, alone destroyed 72 enemy planes. Canadians and Anzacs proved the best flying ma- terial England had. If, as Napoleon said, victory depends on the last reserves, fighting fliers from the British reserve of Canada, Australia and New Zea- land may force the final decision in the clouds. Hitler shouts that he would gladly die so Ger- many can win, What Adolf doesn't seem to realize is that if he did—then everybody'd win.
