SECRET AMERICAN TESTS
NEW AIR GIANTS
While Super-Fortresses are attacking Tokio j secret tests are being made on hew air giants which may dwarf the Super-Fortresses. They include the 836 ? described as the largest aeroplane ye,t attempted. Simultaneously American experts are developing rockets and jet-propel-led weapons. The foregoing facts were disclosed when the Appropriations Committee released a testimony by Dr. George Lewis,- director of aeronautical research. Dr. Lewis said that 835 ? B3G arid 842 were all undergoing tests. The experimental development of air weapons was advancing so rapidly, that a shortage of experts had bee.n caused. Technicians therefore be borrowed from the armed forces to carry out laboratory experiments. The. new projects include the introduction of guided missiles.
