Emphasis Shift Delays War Production Goals
President Roosevelt explained a shift in military production from precision tanks to heavier, better armored models and planes. The aim to produce 60,000 planes this year was to reflect a rate, not a total. The switch from M-3 to M-4 tanks means 45,000 tanks may not be reached, but resources will fund fighting machines through larger units. Eleanor Roosevelt met troops in London, learning about needs like thicker socks and faster mail delivery. Hong Kong raids by US bombers followed by Chinese air force strikes interrupted by losses. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker and eight crew members were missing on a Pacific flight, with search efforts continuing.
