Britain Spends Vast Sum in U S War Goods
British purchasing agents report Great Britain has ordered roughly 32 billion dollars in U S goods since entering the war with Germany a year ago and expect another 2 billion in the coming year. Purchases span hundreds of items, with air power dominating. Aircraft contracts totaled about 1.2 billion in the first year, but only a fraction delivered due to factory building and standardization needs. Some factories were funded by Britain to meet orders, and details on specific planes or quantities remain unavailable.
