Dwarfs Both Liberator And Fortress (.Received October 15, 111 p.m.) WASHINGTON, October 14. A new American super bomber hauling more explosives and with a vastly greater range than any existing warplane is now in actual production, and an unspecified numlber were delivered to the army in the last few weeks. This new dreadnought of the sky dwarfs Iboth the Liberator and the Flying Fortress, and is reckoned to be capable ■of bringing Hitler’s innermost production centres and the Japanese empire within the sights of United States bombardiers. The Army (weekly magazine, “Yank, says that the new super Fortress, 829, will have a greater bomb capacity and a longer range than any existing bomber. Officials do not expect to see the new plane in combat before 1944, presumably because of the time required to attain full scale production and train crews.
