Flying boats favored to beat submarine menace in Senate
In Washington on July 27 a Senate proposal urged diverting shipbuilding to giant flying boats and land based cargo planes. Senator Lee of Oklahoma urged immediate action by a special board including War and Navy chiefs to determine how much capacity to reallocate and where to build the aircraft and yards. He argued submarines threaten U S supply lines and that airborne transport offers the only chance to win the war, citing Henry Kaiser as a model for shifting capacity from ships to flying boats.
