New York Representative Attacks Aircraft War Effort

Washington March 6. Representative Magee of New York tells the house that not a single American built battle plane or pure bombing plane was produced during the war despite over a billion dollars in aircraft expenditures. He cites the De Haviland planes as inadequate for front service and condemns wartime lumber production in the Pacific northwest and unlawful wartime wages to 3,000 soldiers. He accuses aviation officials of mismanagement, while a Democrat counters that American aviation results were far greater than Magee suggests, noting 212 planes at the front on armistice day and 1,620 service planes available then. The debate centers on accountability and inexperience.
