Army to Seek 13 000 More Bombers for Security Fleet
The War Department plans a $2.5 billion request to Congress for a new security fleet of 13 000 bombing and fighting aircraft. The program would run alongside the existing 21 000 plane goal and could begin action in about 18 months. If approved, it would support Roosevelt's push for 500 bombers monthly and bolster the Army Air Force for impending European war developments. Britain’s potential needs may be met under lease‑lend if war persists.
