Never Say ‘Impossible’ fo R. A. F.=It Does Impossible

By JOHN T.WHITAKES Copyright. 1941, by The Indianapolis Times aily News, Inc. Sd The Clicago 5 British soldiers in Crete, denied proper air support and fighting through two sleepless weeks, did the impossible, and expect as much from the Governments in London and Washington. Responsible persons here say that the chief reaction of the British troops in the Middle East is that if the tide is to.be turned against the Germans, industry and Government in both countries must start doing the impossible, instead of recognizing this difficulty or that. Pilots who dived into 10 times their number of German fighters can still be expected to do that when the Anglo-Saxons have too few planes.

Where Were Planes?

But pilots who did this in Crete listened to Lord Beaverbrook saying that Britain has the planes. These pilots want to know why they were not in Crete and why the planes which were in Crete failed them® ’ The Royal Air Force is delighted with the performance and quality of American aircraft, but has been asking the Government for many months for certain changes. The men who are used to doing the impossible, as part of their daily routine, are told that these changes are impossible. They want to know why? Their reports are insisting on three changes in American planes. 1. They want more armament. When ‘an enemy plane is ‘in your sight for a split second, you want to be able to let go as many guns as possible. 2. They want the British type of sight. The reports will say that R. A. FP. fighters do not care about the engineering difficulties or the relative merits of the sights. They are used to their own kind of balance, and they cannot understand why they do not get what they want. ; 3. In much the same spirit, R. A. PF. fighters want the automatic

British motors are not so delicate as the American, which must have careful trottling of the gas feed to adjust the motor for varying altitudes. British pilots have burned out far too many highly tuned a motors by opening them e.

Difference In Pilots

American pilots do not need the automatic, foolproof boost adjuster, the British admit, but -our fighting force has not been expanded rapidly, letting in relatively young, inexperienced pilots. ’ The British reports from Crete also stress the difference between our pilots, flying in peacetime maneuvers, and a British youngster giving his plane the gun in a moment when six Messerschmitts are coming at him from as many directions. Madly enthusiastic about the performance of American planes, British pilots cannot see why this adjustment is not made for them. The reports from Crete stress that, hereafter, London and Washington must quit saying to men going out to die: “That’s impossible. It’s too difficult. We can’t do it.”
