AMERICAN PLANES
GREAT FLOW TO BRITAIN GENERAL ARNOLD’S SURVEY. FIRST ALL-NEGRO SQUADRON. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) WASHINGTON, August 15. American army planes were flowing to Britain in ~ great number,, said Lieutenant-Genei'al Arnold, Chief of the Air Corps, at a Press conference. Full scale participation in the R.A.F. raids on Germany was just a question of getting the planes over to England, and the time to build up American strength. General Arnold revealed that 34 negro pilots had completed their training. Seventy-three others were engaged in training of the Army’s first all-negro air squadron. The squadron was an experiment. When its training was completed, the Army would decide whether to create additional negro squadrons.
