Britain Plans to Buy 1000 American War Planes
A highly authoritative source says Britain intends to purchase about 1000 U S war planes from American factories. Most will be high speed bombers with medium range, while long range bombers are deemed unnecessary for Europe. Delivery is subject to a six month lag before foreign sale of a given type and to consent from the Army Navy and State Department munitions control board.
