US Air Power Against Background
‘Of East-West Tension Discussed
-
Ot tasi-West lension Discusse
(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of two articles on air war
developments against the bavkground of Korea and East-West
tension.)
i BY ELTON C. FAY
I Assoc{ated Press Military Affairs Reporter
| WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—(AP)—Prospects are dim that the Air
i Force will get for use in Korea new jet fighters definitely superior to
! the enemy’s Soviet-made MIG-~lss, unless the war drags on for a long
| time,
’ Air Force experts sa.id today they knew of no radically new type
| fighter now in production which can out-perform the F-86 or other
| Anrerican jets in their almost daily duels with MiG’s in the high, thin
| air above the Yalu river boundary area. The F-86 and the MIG-13 are
! rated about equal. |
’ There are in the U. S. better
planes and engines in development
or approaching the production
| stage—as there probably are in
| Russia—but they aren’t ready now
although they may have advanced
|to the experimental model stage
| several years ago.
| The warplanes coming out of
' American factories now sre air
| craft designed and ordered before
| or in the early days cf the Korean ‘
| war,
! A recent news conference re-‘
| mark by Secretary of Defense |
| Lovett points this up. He said
we’ll begin to get early in 1952
completed aircraft which were
provided for by funds appropri=
jated in 1950 (either before the
loutbreak of the Korean war or
| soon thereafter).
Possible Improvements
Because there is somre flexibility
{in the design of a plane even
| when mass production lines have
| started, certain changes made in
equipment or parts may produce
some degree of improvement.
Therefore, the present series of
North American F-86’s flying in
Korea will not be as good as F-88
“E” series planes now starting to
come off the line.
Moreover, specialized types of
jet fighters, like the Northrop
F-89 and the Lockheed F-94, “all
weather” planes, are in produc
tion. They are particular-purpose
planes, equipped with extensive
radar to help them find a target
in any kind of weather, day or
night.
The performance and general
characteristics of the two jet
fighter types which engage each
other most frequently are strik
ingly alike (which is not strange,
since many of their features grew
out of the same conmmon design by
Germany’s Luftwaffe enginee.s in
the latter days of World War II).
Why does it take so long to
build today’s warplanes?
The Air Force and the industry
have a handy, cover-all phrase to
answer the question: “Lead time.”
“Lead Time"” ‘
Actually, “lead time” isn’t the
whole answer but it accounts for
a large part of the interval be
tween Congressional authorization
to start buying a certain type
plane and the time when the first
| production model rolls, shiny and I
’ new, out of the factory. '
The lead time for a fighter is |
about 18 months, For a bomber it |
is 24 months. ‘
Much of this lead time encom=~
passes the tedious process of get
! ting together the material, tools
and people to build the airplane.
It takes time to make the tools to
make the plane, sometimes more
than two years to get a type of
machine tool needed for a special
type job.
Then there is the difficulty of
getting together or training the
highly skilled labor needed for
airplane manufacture. Skilled la
bor is scarce in many big plane |
manufacturing regions for several
reasons. Trained workers of World |
War II have gone to peacetime |
jobs. Other industries compete
for those still available. But there
is even a difference in the kind of
worker needed in this war. Robert |
E. Gross, president of Lockheed |
Aircraft Corporation, pointed that |
up this way in a recent address: |
. “In 1943, we figured that for a |
very specialized radar and elec
tronir job, we could get along with |
one such technician for every|
thousand employes. Today, we|
need one out of 24 to be such a |
technician. In 1943, one out of 22
was an engineering employe; to
day, one out of eight.”
But lead time in itself accounts
for neither all the time nor all the
reasons for the mrany months to
‘get a plane into production.
Design Period
Before “lead time” starts with
the awarding of a firm production
contract there is the period o 1 de
sign and development. That may
run from two to five years, includ
ing the drawing board work and
the bullding of a couple of proto
type models for flight testing and
for static tests of strain and other
features.
Even when a design is decided
upon and Congress had provided
authority or funds for mass pro
duction, it often is slow business
working out an agreement v/ith
the prime contractor and what
ever other firms may be involved
in the production. The Air Force
estimates that normeally about 90
days are required to negotiate a
detailed, definitive contract. Until
it has a firm understanding, no
company wants to start buying
tools and hiring workers.
‘Even the Air Force itself causes
delays in‘production. It may want
a whange somewhere in a power
plant, or gun location or aiming
system, or in the airplane’s- con
trol system. These changes may be

Achievemeni Week
For 4-H Members
*
Is November 3-11
|
As National 4-H Achevement
Week drew nearer, Secretary of
Agriculture Charles F. Brannan
this week joined other national
and state leaders in congratulating
4-H club members on their 1951
accomplishments.
l November 3-11 are dates set
| aside to recognize and honor the:
! achievements of 2,000,000 Four-H
| members and 275,000 adult volun
| teer throughout Georgia and the
Nation,
| “Yours has been an outsanding
| record in carrying out the 14 points
|of your 1351 National 4-H De
fense Mobilization Program,” the
Secretary said in a letter to all
4-H mempers. “Reports inducate
that you have again topped all
previous achievement records.” .
Continuing, Mr. Brannan said:
“You have demonstrated in a
striking way your egrnestness in
keeping with your 1951 theme,
Working Together for World
Understanding.” For, far behind
the front lines, the supply lines, the
communication lines, you have
been active in producing and con
serving food, saving scarce mater
ials, improving your own health
and that of the community, acquir
ing skills to help those in need
during emergencies, and doing
your full part as young ecitizens
in countless other ways.”
High on 4-H members’ acheves
ments list this year is the pro
duction and conservation of food
to make more available for their
own families, for other families
and for those in need in other
lands. Reports out of Washin&-
ton show that 4-H’ers grew 120,-
000 acres of gardens; produced
9,000,000 birds in poultry projects;
raised 1,000,000 head of livestock;
preserved 16,000,000 quarts of
food; and reached comparable re
sults in numerous other projects
such as clothing, home improve
ment, forestry, food preparation
and rural electrification.
Here in Georgia, State 4-H
Leader W. A. Sutton said plans to
observe National 4-H Club
Achievement Week include lunch
eons, banquets, displays in store
windows and banks, and tours to
observe 4-H project work.
WELL, NOW
PARKERSBURG, W. Va. —
(AP) — Everett Hostetter started
out to have a weiner roast in his
pback yard and it now looks like
he will wind up with a gas well.
After the roast Hostetter and his
family scattered the coals. Next
morning they discovered the fire
still burning. Four times they
tried to put it out but no “luck.”
Suspecting gas seepage, Hostetter
then dropped a match on the|
ground and it blazed up. Therei
are no pipelines nearby. ore k|
Although he has received an of
fer to lease the ground, Hostetter,
and employe of the American Vis
cose Corp., plans to develop his
own backyard bonanza,
