Warplane and Powder Output Stepped
Knudsen announced $1 728 195 928 in army and navy contracts cleared by the defense commission in eight weeks. He said naval shipbuilding would expand beyond the Atlantic Seaboard to five coastal yards including Seattle and Los Angeles, with other sites unnamed. A $92 million RFC loan to Wright Aeronautical will fund a Hamilton County Ohio plant to boost engine output to 12 000 annually, employing 12 000 to 15 000. Production would rise US engine and plane output toward 30 000 a year, with next March’s aviation output around 18 000 and July 1 1942 projections at 25 000 warplanes.
