Money Needed to Equip Our Air Service
Washington reports the U S Bureau of Aeronautics says the nation lags behind leading powers in air force readiness. Rear Admiral William A. Moffett testifies before a House committee that aviation lacks stable funding, with Navy Air Service receiving about 16 million yearly, much spent on maintenance and salaries, leaving limited funds for new aircraft. He cites a plan to place an airplane on every naval ship and expects battleships to carry aerial protection, but money shortages hinder full implementation. There are 117 planes afloat and 840 total aircraft of all types, with 600 obsolete and potentially usable only in emergencies.
