Speeding Up of Production
and Reduction of Profits
Urged
Washington, Aug. 22. ,
Asserting that those in charge of
producing aircraft for the Ameri
can fighting forces abroad have vir
tually wasted $648,000,000, the air
craft investigating committee re
ported to the Senate Military Af
fairs Committee today that the air
craft program up to the present
time has presented' "many aspects
of failure."
While an nrmy of 3,500,000 men has
been raised, tho Investigating commit
tee declares that tho aircraft situation
presents the following aspects:
First Six hundicd find one Do
Haviland foura embarked for franco
up to August 1. Of these, sixty
seven had reached the front by July
1. On August 7 a squadron of eight
een ,De Haviland fours flew over tho
German lines. No details of Its per
formance have been leeched.
Second There is not a single
Amerlcan-mndo chasse (or piano of
attack) on tho battlefront.
Thlid. Not n, single American
, made heavy bombing plane upon the
bsttlefront,
Fourth The United States has not
developed 'and put Into quantity
l&t production a singlo.chasse, or flght-
4IIK JJI4J1C g Bfc
FIffli".1Th6 attempt" to cieato a
fighting plane centered on an effort"
to adapt the Bristol lighter and De
Haviland to tho Liberty motor. The
Bristol was put Into quantity produc
tion without sufficient tests, mpro
than JC.50O.C0O was expended and
Vie lives of several men sacrificed
when the machine was condemned
and Its manufactuie discontinued.
$6,000,000 in Storago
Sixth. Tho standard "J" train
ing machine equipped with Hall
Scott engines was put Into quantity
production, and, after more than
1200 had been manufactured at a
cost of $6,000,000. was condemned as
dangerous and placed in sioiage.
Seventh Three thousand Spad
fighting planes weio ordered In Sep
tember and the order was cancpled
October 8, for the reason that the
single-seat fighter was regarded as
obsolete. Nevertheless, on April 23,
this year, 1000 single-seat lighters
known as the S K 5 tho English
equivalent of tho Frtnch Spad
were -dercd. In addition, the Gov
ernment Is now using on the battle
front every Spad It cap secure from
the French, but has got only 418.
Eighth When the Spad and Bris
tol contracts weie canceled "wo were
left without either a single or two
seat filer." except tho De Haviland,
four, originally designed as a two
seat fighter, but equipped by the
United States for reconnaissance and
bombing.
Ninth. Eighty-five hundred De
Havilands ordered, but when 1000
had been dellveied numerous mis
takes developed, when work was
stsopped until the defects could He
remedied.
Tenth. Although InOctober, 1917.
the United States had facilities for
producing Capronl bombing planes,
only one experimental machine had
been produced to date. By this time
the machines should havo be?n In
quantity production, tho committee
says. ,
Eleventh. Plans for the Handley
page bombing machine were avail
able In the summer of 1917, but con
tracts for parts were not made until
February. 1918. A sample plane was
flown In July, but the tests are not
yet complete.
