AMENDED WORKING PLANS IN CANADA IMMEDIATE AID TO BRITAIN. EXPANSION OF INDUSTRY. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 9 a.m.) TORONTO, June 3. The Deputy Air Minister, Mr James S. Duncan, said fighters and bombers, ready for immediate action, were being sent to Europe. Pilots and air crews would in future be dispatched constantly to Europe, while Canada would maintain the framework of the Empire air scheme, to enable its regearing to capacity at the earliest possible moment.
At present Canada was making an effort to reach the maximum output of air personnel for overseas service. A number of graduates intended for the air scheme, and also instructors, had been diverted overseas. Canada was acting immediately to increase its aircraft industry, not only to replace planes the United Kingdom was now unable to send for air training, but also to supply the United Kingdom with ever-increasing bombers and fighters.
