AIRCRAFT OUTPUT

AXIS PRODUCTION EXCEEDED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, April 30. A spokesman for the American aircraft industry has reported to the United States Chamber of Commerce that, according to the best obtainable estimates, half the United States aeroplane production, plus Britain’s output, now exceeds the total aircraft production of the Axis Powers. The total production of the United States this year will be 18,000 aircraft, and next year it will be 30,000. The War Department has awarded a contract for 43,000,000 dollars for planes and parts to the Douglas Aircraft Company. This is believed to presage the development of a fleet of 70-ton “aerial dreadnoughts,’’ approximately twice the size of the army’s present biggest bombers.
