Shortage of Planes Hampered American Air War Effort
Col Mason M. Patrick testified before the Moose committee on war expenditures that at armistice US air forces required 2,730 planes but had only 740, relying heavily on France. He described dire early conditions in 1917 and 1918, with France supplying most equipment. He noted limited Liberty motors and De Havilland planes, and said many planes were stripped for parts and burned in France. Committee plans trips to inspect spruce production in the Pacific coast and castor oil bean crops in Texas, returning in September.
