Aeroflot has some impressive new models for the job. It has started to fly Tupolev's new four-jet, 500-10-600 m.p.h. TU-110s the 2,700 miles from Moscow to Irkutsk, may put the plane on longer runs to replace the TU-IO4. For ranges up to 3,000 miles, Aeroflot has shown off prototypes of two 400-m.p.h., four-engined turboprops - Ilyushin's 100-passenger IL-18 Moskva and Antonov's 126-passenger Ukraina-that resemble Lockheed's Electra, now being test-flown.

Some bombers were under...
...Goebbels cabled Bengasi for all the eyewitnesses the traffic would bear. Soon a squadron of Messerschmitt 110s from Africa settled down on Berlin's Staaken Airfield, unloaded bags of stories, pictures and records made by field microphonists, for whose transmission the German radio canceled a whole day's program. From one Messerschmitt stepped German War Reporter Lutz Koch, his face still grimy with African sand, bearing a story which the newspapers titled Yesterday I Was With Rommel...
