In the first place, it takes about two yvears thoroughly to train | military aviators. Next, it requires in the United States, with all our facil ities and skill. 16 months to make an ordinary airplane, 17 months to make an attacking plane and 18 months to make a homber. So no wonder, in the emergency like that which struck us at the entry of the Great we found the war nearly over before we began to produce fighting craft. * Thie renders it absolutely essential for our proper defense that we should immediately lay the foundations for the building and maintaining of an adequate Air Force to defend the TUnited States. Our military experts have declared that the Army alone should for 1.800 fighting planes, and this is based on the smallest Army which any Nation of importance in the world maintains—an Army of a little more than a hundred thous guard and protect the va of a Nation of more than a hundred million people.
