Nijinsky visa request triggers U S plotting by Rome leaders
Mme Nijinsky sought a visa from consular officers only after Washington ordered it. She then cabled President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull and several American women’s organizations hoping for a change. British and French plane production lagged prewar levels as Allied orders yield only about 1,900 planes of a possible 8,000. Churchill warned the Allies face ongoing air inferiority and risk, while Nazi output surged to roughly 3,300 planes in March and France to 400. Analysts project American industry might deliver 13,000 warplanes in 16 months, with total capacity near 30,000 by year end, amid capacity definitions and production measures.
