And there was another reason for the blistering rate at which the work was going along. For Ford has already set the date when the first 6-24, powered by Pratt & Whitney engines made in the River Rouge plant, is expected to come off the line, ready for flight: the week before Christmas...

Souped up by a brand-new and secret supercharger, P47 may well be the fastest, highest-riding pursuit plane in the world, with a fighting ceiling above 35,000 feet, a top speed well...
