Carl “Toughy” Epaatz, now Commander of the) Air Forces. Their first difference was cver using Dunn’s paratroop- er transport planes for freight haul- age at a time when Dunn wanted| to use his planes for training| troops. Second and much more serious row was over adequate protection for troop-carrying planes. By that time, the top command was sold on airborne infantry and Dunn had been given the job of prepai- ing for large-scale operations ov: Ttaly However. Dunn, even then, for- saw the danger of having trans- port planes shot down. With his paratroopers flying in C-47's, they were protected by no armor plate around the pilot's seat and no self-sealing gasoline tanks. And because these planes had to 1lv low and slow, he feared they would be easy targets for enemy anti-aircraft. And once a bullet pierced a gasoline tank—unl:ss equipped with self-sealing lining— the whole plane burst into flames Paratroopers would have no time to bail out At that time—well before the Eicilian Campaign—Gen. F. A. M. Browning airborne adviser to General Eisenbower, wrote a re- port supporting Dunn rowning reported that pilot morale was low due to the lack of armor around the pilot's seat and the absence of self-sealing gasoline tanks. Ac- cordingly he recommended that the B-24 replace the C-47 as a vehiele Indian leaders cooperated with the gov- agreed to abide by the terms of HJR | 205 under which timber on the lands falsely claimed pulp through the govesnment, they would have lost nothing and stood |€nds.
