Army confidence in the per- formance and continuing devel- opment of American aircraft was reported to Congress today with the message that the Nation now is getting both quality and quan- tity plane production and need not “apologize to any one in the ‘world.” Combat performances of Ameri- can-built planes pitted against Ger- man Messerschmitts and Japanese fighters—in many cases against heavy odds—were cited by Lt. Gen. H. H. Arnold, deputy chief of staff for air, to back up that statement before the House Appropriations Committee. In a transcript of that testimony made public by the committee, Gen. Arnold was quoted as saying that in plane research and development worn this country was “equal to most nations and ahead of a lot of them.” Brig. Gen. O. P. Echols, in charge ©f procurement, added: “I think, from the best informa- tion we have, that I can say, with- out hestitation, we are up to the Germans, and I think, in certain respects, we are ahead of them. I think the new pursuit planes are the best airplanes in the world, and I think in our heavy bombers that we are ahead of them.” Gen. Amold quoted the British as saying the P-40-D (Kittyhawk) pursuit was superior to all the other Royal Air Force planes in the Mid- dle East, and said that one squad- ron of that type, “up against a su- perior number,” had “knocked down 13 hostile planes, including two Messerchmitts 109-F. We lost only one plane.” “During the Japanese attack on Pear]l Harbor on December 7,” Gen. Arnold continued, “Lt. Taylor and Lt. Welch, both flying airplanes similar to the British Tomahawk, attacked a formation of Japanese Aus'.num have studied every planes and each shot down two |bit of the ground in the area be- planes. tween Mersing and Endau, 25 miles “A short time later, Lt.
