the world had never dreamed of. But the British Government was forced to tell Marshal Haig there was no possibility of meetinz his request. Twenty-three years later, as German bombs blasted the semidefenseless Allied armies out of Norway, Britain again faced the same fundamental probiem of supply. oo» REPARING to repel any invasion, Britain's defense chiefs are now demanding, not 120 planes, but a steady stream of 10,000 or more planes a month-— as many as the factories of Britain, Canada and the United State can squeeze into their production schedules. When U. S. Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr, re=ferred to the enormous cost in= volved in British planes to obtain 3000 United States planes a month over and above existing contracts, he cited an axiom which finally has been put into practice here —“when dealing with air power, throw all ideas of economy out Centralization of command in air operations, and an organization capable of supervising experimentation, production and distribution of the most powerful fighting machines and of mainnumbers constantly the all-important factors in aerial warfare, according to British air experts. And there have been suggestions that, had Britain's air chiefs had the ultimate power of decision in the R. A. F.'s peacetime policies, the battles for Norway and Flanders might have had a different outcome. Britain's modern air force was born April 1, 1918. Since the inception of the Royal Flying Corps in 1912, the nation's military and naval wings, originally intended to be mutually self-sufficient but under a central control, had drifted apart and become intent upon their own administrative and strategic problems, even to the extent of competing against each other for planes and equipment. Marshal Haig's letter calling attention to the acute supply situation was instrumental in providing centralized World War production control in the form of a second air board, but it was not until the following June that a second incident startled Britain into realization of the fact that centralized production was not in itself sufficient. On June 18, 1917, mass formations of German Gothas in =» daylight raid, dropped four tons ot bombs on London. In this foretaste of total warfare, for which Britain was entirely unprepared, 162 persons were Killed and 432 were injured. Only a central command, it became apparent, could enable the air force to provide adequate defense of industrial objectives at home, carry out reprisal raids on Germany and fulfill its major function as “the Army's longrange artillery.” In November, 1917, the air board was expanded into an Air Ministry authorized to effect amalgamation of the air services. un ” n HE R. A. Fs organization is the simplest of the three branches of the armed services. It is divided into seven independent commands under an air chief marshal, each of whom is directly responsible to the chief of the air staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Cyril Newall. Of the seven, the Bomber and Fighter Commands are the senior units. The Bomber Command is respongible for controlling administration of all home bomber squadrons, forming the strikin=z force of the metropolitan air force, and the Fighter Command is charged with defense of the home shores from all forms of hostile air attack, The latter works in close liaison with anti-aircraft, searchlight, balloon barrage and observation units. The Coastal Command is responsible for reconnaissance over home waters in conjunction with the Admiralty. It operates aa li ison with naval forces and the fleet air arm, even to the extent of spotting tor naval guns, as in

the bombardment of Stavanger, The pre-war training command, now divided into a technical training command and a flying training command, controls all flying armament schools and R. A. F. depots. The Maintenance Command governs equipment depots, aircraft storage units, ammunition depots and repair depots. The last, the Balloon Command, undertakes administration and training of all barrage crews. In addition to these commands there are four foreign-based air forces in the Near East, Far East, Palestine and India, all of whizh operate independently, although responsible to Marshal Newall. = ”

T the outbreak of the present war’ the air force accompanying the British expeditionary force overseas was divided into two sections—the air component, attached to Viscount Gort's headquarters for army cooperation and reconnaissance, and an advanced striking force, tantamount to a Bomber Command offshoot based in France With appointment of Air ViceMarshal John Francis Barrett as commander-in-chief of the air forces in France, however, the two branches were united under a single command which, though it maintained close liasion with army headquarters, was directly subordinate to the air staff at home. The Empire Canada, Australia, Kenya and Rhodesia are independent, although in event of their transfer to the United Kingdom they would come under administration of the air staff for war operations. One branch of Britain's air power is not in the Air Ministry's jurisdiction. Although the R. A. F. resisted all attempts to restore a measure of dual military and naval control, the fleet air arm constitutes an independent force taking orders from the Admiralty alone. Air circles have explained that the fact fleet aircraft are based on ships—aircraft carriers or cruisers from which they are catapulted—made their operation entirely dependent upon maneuvers of their floating bases. Thus, while the fleet air arm command and the R. A. F. cooperate on technical matters as well as in conduct of military operations within the range of the R. A. F.s shore bases, the former maintains its own regulations and individual uniforms.
