In a General Arnold briefing, the Army Air Forces detail aircraft production rises from about 48,000 in 1942 to nearly 86,000 in 1943 and an implied 100,000 in 1944, with over 48,000 sent overseas and about half lost. They note 42,000 planes lost since Pearl Harbor, and 68,300 used in training, arguing air power, while not sole winner, is essential to Allied victory.
