During that year, floor space where the nation’s warplanes are built more than doubled! (The figures include propeller as well as plane and engine plants.) During that year, while accom- plishing the expansion task, the lindustry built 11,647 military air- | planes! And during that year, the in- dustry trained 160,000 new em- ployes! 16.000.000 More To Go These were highlights today of a report by Col. John H. Jouett, president of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of Amer- ica, to Aviation News Features. With more than 38,000,000 square feet completed, said Col. | Jouett, the aircraft manufacturers have approximately 16,000,000 square feet under construction— | expanding toward a goal of nearly 54.000,000 sauare feet |" Unprecedented in American in- dustry, this expansion program was spurred in Phase I by French and British orders, with the re- sult that from January 1, 1939, to !

New expansions of huge pro- | portions were ordered by the Fed- | eral government after July 1, : 1940, resulting during the ensuing itwelve months in an_ increase of | 111 percent.
