Defense Production Listing Boosts Aircraft Motor Output
Defense production reviewers found aircraft motors rushing from a Connecticut plant to 1,400,000 horsepower monthly. An official estimated 70,000 to 100,000 airplane engines could be produced in 1941-42, with the total motor output aimed at 10,000,000 horsepower monthly for the industry. Axis output was estimated between 8,000,000 and 5,000,000 horsepower. The Liberty motor’s WWI role was noted along with a factory making gun recoil mechanisms. Draft legislation faced opposition as Roosevelt’s plan to mobilize defense sectors raised fears of economic dictatorship, with compromises limiting presidential powers and curtailing strikes. U-boats increased range, sinking eight British ships and proving submarines grow larger, even within 700 miles of the United States.
