ARNOLD, CHIEF OF U. S. ARMY AIR bt "By GEN. H. H.ARNOLD Commanding General, AAF WASHINGTON, D. C.—We have now dropped more than a million tons of bombs on places in Ger- many and Japan where they will do the most good. Almost half the total (as of a recent date), 432,000 tons, have been dropped since D-day, June 6. Inarecent month the rate was 4,400 tons per day or three tons each minute around the clock. This shows what Germany and Japan are now up against in contrast to the first year of war for the United States, 1942, when the rate was 28 Gen. H. H. Arnold tens per day. Remember, if you will, what the Japanese had done to our Pacific air forces in the first weeks of this war. We had 526 airplanes deployed to meet any attacks on Hawaii and the Philippines. Within a few hours that number was reduced to 176. In the Philip- pines, our last two worn-out P-40s sank a couple of Japanese ships with 500-pound bombs hitched to the wings—and then 'they, too, were lost. Exactly two and a half years citer those P-40s went down, 20,000 American airmen flew over the English channel on their zero i hour D-day mission.” Almost 2,000 American heavy bombers— Liberators and For- tresses—crossed the 380-mile line of the south coast of England. Timing had to be precise. The last airplane of this enor- mous force was timed to leave England so that it would cross the channel and drop its bombs on the beach defenses just five minutes— no more, no less—before the first foot soldier came in through the surf on the Normandy beaches. The bombers were on time. Group after group crossed the channel over an unmarked floor of smooth solid clouds. : At an invisible point in space the bombs were released to fall through the clouds and strike pre- cisely on targets below. There Were No Mistakes On D-day almost any one of them could have accidentally or prematurely hit the release which would have sent tons of high ex- plosives crashing into the densely packed channel below. The fact that not one of those Americans made that tragic mis- take—the fact that their bombing was of high accuracy in spite of some heavy anti-aircraft fire— those facts seem to me little short of miraculous. Dropping one million tons means that five million individual bombs have plummeted down on German and Japanese targets. They have been used where they would hurt the enemy most. Approximately 175,000 tons, con- centrated on aircraft factories and related plants, and air fields, de- stroyed the effectiveness of his air power. Another 140,000 tons have been FORCES, WRITES s‘hove just reledsed a few 'of those million tons-we've pogred onithe snemy dropped on oil plants, bali-bearing works and other industrial tergets. The remainder have been used against shipping, submarine works, many types of military installa- tions, transportation facilities, ana in direct support of ground troops. Five per cent, or 50,000 tons, of the first million dropped were incendiaries. Hitting the enemy with 1,000,000 tons of bombs has cost men and material. AAF airplanes in flying 13,900,000 hours have consumed more than 2,000,000,000 gallons of 100-octane gasoline overseas. The 238,000,000 rounds of am- munition they have used have de- stroyed more than 27,000 enemy airplanes, probably destroyed 6,00 more and damages an additional 10,000. Since Pearl Harbor, AAF com- bat crew personnel have suffered, in round figures, 72,000 battle casualties (dead, missing, prison- ers of war and wounded) plus 5,300 non-battle casualties (dead, miss- ing, sick and injured). The AAF has lost 14,600 air- craft on combat missions from all causes, and an additional 9,900 have been lost overseas from other than combat causes. Additional plane losses totaling 17,500 have occurred in the con- inental United States, so that since Pearl Harbor the AAF has had approximately 42,000 airplan: losses. I think the basic pattern of air power in Europe must by now be as clear to the Germans as the most legible handwriting on the wall. : What that pattern is going to be in the Pacific we will let the Jap- anese find out—the hard way. faver four He also|their respective authorities to ta € ing the “fourteen points.” up a their duties in defense cf demanded trial of “war criminals.” Following the war, he was Prime the Fatherland.” | of a coalition cabinet for| This is the army which set out lin 1939 to conguer the world. | The Germans appeared greatly Hl—Retires { & - leoncerned about the Third Army His illness in 1931 e | or cerned ) AW tolomnd push beyond Frankfurt on Main, by three years cf al t complete , Vetirement.
