Kenney, in his recent| trip to Washington, was asking for bombers as well as fighters. He was bursting with a desire to go on the war path in a very aggressive way. Fact is that though we are sending bombers to the South Pa-! cific, they don't all get to the Australian area. Admiral Halsey sees them going through, and in- sists that the danger in his thea- tre demands more bombers. So he| takes his cut, and MacArthur gets | *that many less. | It all adds up to this—the Japs are out to ruin our airfields and planes, to recapture air supremacy. But MacArthur, newly air-minded, will put éverything he has, or can get, into the air to prevent this. Ih short, the news from the South Pacific will be news of air battles for a long time to come.
