Howard Collin, chairman of the. board, stated today, Tho greatest need now Is for Joung American, sound of limb, clear of eje and nf high Intellectual cnpiclty to man the fleet. .Mr t'oflln s.ild Tho chairman of the aircraft piodue tlon board, In nn Interview with the .Kvenimi l'unttc tjCBriEii correspondent today, tho first ho hai given the nsws papers In a month, outlined the rapid progress being mado by the United States to prepare a fleet of airplane which would bo tho superior of any planes now In exlstenre, manned bv n corps of air pilots who will eiii.il the deeds of any of the men who lne be come famous during the war BUST ril.MT IN" WOULD Much of the Information glien b Mr Coffin cannot be made public at thl time, but the following facts mav be stated: First. The nlicraft production bo-ird I after Innumerable laboratory and field experiments, ha become more "tiongly . convinced than eier that the liberty motor Is the best altpl.ino motoi ever built, and that the Anierlcin battle plane and scout planes equipped with the liberty motor will prole to be the superior of any aircraft being used In Germany or anj of the Allies Sscond. Tho aircraft expert of the Al lies, after thoroughly Investigating the liberty motor, haie formed conclusion I a favorable as thone of the American regarding It. and have made repeated requests for deliveries of several thou sands of the new motor deviled by American genlu Third The Kuropean aire: aft expert were at first unwilling to believe that Amcrlca'could within a shoit time gi.up the IntrlcaUcs of airplane ntotot con struction and surpis the skill of the Europeans, who have devoted inanv years to th,t line They are now will ing to admit the llbeit inolot I the best ever made. i-'ourth. Twent-four aviation tialn Ing stations have been uiitltorlred. and most of them are now In opeiatlon It has been found polblo to 1 educe the period necessat to train avi.itut fioin six to four mouth. Two mouths ale de. voted to ground work, the tralnlnr ot 1he flcr In the totitriicllon, mechanism n ml upkeep of the inailtlne, and then two month nte given to ailual lljlng. Fifth. In addition to the twentv four training stations for avlaton In the United States, American tlvei aro In tintning at nlrpiine stations iniin talncd bv our allies In lhigl ind t'anada, France. Italy and llgvpt Mth. Wondetful piocrc ha lieen rt tnlned In training tlie fllei The stage of development In turning out living men I fai In advance of what tho alr iraft board had even hoped foi sonic months ago. Seventh The aviation coip I anxious to secuio the se: vice of a laige number of intelligent voting men foi this service, and men subject to the next draft can still en1UJ;iM,.tliis branch Mr Collin made Itrery cleat that the young men going Intn'IhTs luunali of the servlco will jump liTlcVtii line of work that I In it Infnncyi5itd which will not cease after the war Rlghth. There I no truth In the re 1 ports that the liberty motoi loes it highest effectiveness aftei leaching a height of 5000 fiet or that theie I any other mojor In txisteme that Is Its superior In anv line of woik Ninth. The slandirdlzlng of tvpe 1 expected to prove one ot the greatest assets of the American airplane fories Mr Cofllr. explained the advantage that vould come from having pat is of all the I American machines Intenhangeable and 1 easily replaced. This will enthelv pre- A cut the occurrence of the difficulty tlie Allies had In the eaily patt uf the war In keeping nlrplanes in tepaii when there Averc about sixty different tjpts of airplanes In ue. Tenth. The talk of having 100 000 American airplanes on the Geiman nest front rext spring I extravagant 1 he almost impossibility of uch a de--.elopmcnt may be grasped fioiu the fact Mat ordinarily ground men are teiptired r.boqt ten to each filer, and that more than 1.0Q0.O00 men would be needed to handlo that number of machine. And then where could 100.000 airplane be i.'uartered when it take about 100 squatc feet of ground to house ono machine ' Kteventh. It Is highly Improbable that any of the American Viirplaues villi be sent to Franco througfy the air. It I more than likely they will bo sent nocked down, to be assembled or tire other side. Tho number of airplanes which the United States plans to place ,011 the western front will not be lOO.OOn, and although tlio ngures cannot be made public. It can be said that America is planning for and expects to have an efficient. Avell-drllled, Avell-equlpped and well-balanced aerial force there, which, added to what France, England and Bel gium now have, will insure unquestion able air supremacy for the Allies over Germany.
