BOMBER OUTPUT CHEERS BRITISH

Handley Page, 1914 Pioneer Helps Keep Produc-

tion Ahead of Losses.

By EDWARD W. BEATTIE United Press Staff Correspondent HANDLEY PAGE AIRCRAFT FACTORY, Somewhere in Britain, April 23—Frederick Handley Page, a2 hawk-nosed giant who started his career in heavy bombers back In 1914 with a machine that carried the then unprecedented load of 672 pounds, 1s cne of the handful of men responsible for keeping Brit-! gin’s four-motored bomber proauction ahead of the losses that go with intensified raids over Germany. His long-range Halifax bombers team with the Stirling Lancaster to form the meanest, most devastating trio any hation| cen throw into an air offensive.

Has Unusual Range The Stirling carries the bigger load: Eight tons of what Lord Beaverbrook calls “great, big, beautiful bombs” to the Halifax's tons. The Lancaster, a formation of which carried out a spectacular davlight raid on Augsburg, deep In the heart of Germany, last week, reputedly has the edge in speed. The Halifax has exceptional range bv European standards—about 3000 miles—plus low structural weight, which makes it, pound for pound, one of the most efficient aircraft ever built The qualities each of these giants supplements what may be lacking in the other, and all will play an increasing role in the air offensive which the United States is soon to join, and which, it has been promised, will make Germany's worst blitzes on Britain's cities look like casual experiments in destruction.
