Air-Power Argument Goes On
The argument goes merrily on between the; air-power
enthusiast and those who think that the airplant, vital as.
it is> can’t win a war alone.
Such persuasive friends of the plane aS Majar de Sev-
ersky are convinced that,if the United.Nations could build
end keep in operation enough'planes, Germany and Japan
eould be literally obliterated from the skies—and that
major land operations would thus be unnecessary. The
fact that the airplane has not proven a decisive weapon
means nothing'in their opinion—because no nation has as
■ * yet been able to keep up air attacks bn the scale necsessary.
The majority of miliiap, experts don’t gos ;
this. They argue that relatively few of the bombs ever hit
•nportant objectives, and that the damage done can, as a
rule, be swiftly remedied. They point out that constant
progress is being made in air-defense—such as camouflage,
anti-aircraft guns and fighter planes. They think that the
airplane can do. an all-important job in “softening up’’ an
enemy and in disrpting his, supply lines—but that it will
be up to navies and armies to finish the job.

will be the greatest military operation in history.
