Send Allies Our Planes Knox Urges
Col. Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News and 1936 Republican vice presidential nominee, urged the United States to aid Britain and France with planes and ships while avoiding direct combat. He backed aviation training for 15,000 pilots this summer and 30,000 next year as a core defense, warning that a German victory would threaten U.S. security and trade. He argued the Atlantic bulwark is vulnerable and called for rapid ship and aircraft production to counter potential Axis aggression.
