MORE ALLIED PLANES
General Arnold Stresses Requirement EXPERIENCE IN ITALY (Received October 5, 1:20 a.m.) NEW YORK, October 4. Pleading at Seattle for greater output of warplanes, the chief of the army air forces, General Arnold, said that the Italian invasion would have been easier if the Allies had had more planes, and it could not have been accomplished witli fewer. “Tlie British and American air forces saved our troops at Salerno,” he said. “We were forced to use every available plane our North African Air Force could muster from every possible source. “Oin one day in September,” he added, “more than 1600 planes were in the air, going from America to some theatre of war, but still greater replacements arc needed.”
