Huge Army Appropriation Urged Across War Bill
Hearings reveal a conservative Germany production estimate of 3,000 to 6,000 planes monthly with occupied territory mobilization. The bill funds a 1.5 million man force and earmarks 2.65 billion for 12,856 aircraft, 10,000 combat types, aiming 40,000 planes yearly by July 1, 1942 and 56,000 combat planes by July 1943. Major items include defense production expediting, spare engines, barrage balloons, pilot training, weapons, and Atlantic base installations. Notable testimony supports a permanent selective service, a large training pipeline, expanded overseas posts, and armored divisions to be formed in Camp Livingston and Camp Shelby with labor shortages in the Canal Zone.
