Britain May Get Priority Rights On Aircraft Production

US officials discuss diverting some engines and orders from the army and navy to support England, while France’s defeat would heighten reliance on air power and production plans under the defense council. A separate proposal would halt auto production to surge airplane output, authorizing 50,000 planes under the 1916 defense act.
