Washington, Oet. ,4. (UP)—
U. S. army planes, with a rec-
ord of only one loss to seven
for the enemy during a recent
80-day combat period, are
“more than a match" for any
opposing military aircraft, a
house military affairs subcom-
mittee reported tonight after
a two-week investigation.
The report praised the per-
formance of U. S. bombers and
flatly rejected charges that
American fighter planes are
inferior to those of Germany,
Italy or Jap, declaring that
"in the final analysis, it is the
box score that counts.
"It is idle,” the report said,
“to compare the speed, per-
formance and maneuverability
of one plane against another
when engaged in war.
“It is only common sense to
say that our planes and onr
pilots are performing excep-
tionally well when they are
knocking down two or three
enemy planes to every one of
gun that is lost.”
Reports from the nine fight-
ing fronts where American
planes and crews are in Action,
the report said, show that C.
S.-built bombers have set an
“outstanding record” and that
American fighters have splen-
did combat qualities.
Asserting that army air force
officials are “fully alert” to
make any design changes
shown necessary by experi-
ence, it said the American
people “may be justly proud
of the record of their air
forces, their achievements and
their will to bring this war to
a.speedy and successful
elusion.”
(Chairman Harry S. Tru-
man (D.-Mo.), of the special
senate committee investigating
the war program, leveled the
“Inferiority” charge against
American fighters. He lateT
told reporters after conferring
with top army air force offi-
cials that he was convinced U.
S. quality was "on the men.”
The subcommittee, headed
by Rep. Dow Harter (D.
Ohio), had high praise for the
army’s B-17 Flying Fortresses
and other bombera, declaring
their performance was so im-
pressive that ‘little need be
said since their record today
has been so outstanding as to
silence criticism.”
