Sirs: TIME'S story "Battle of Asia" [March 27] leaves off where the real work began. Colonel Cochran ably planned and executed the first night's glider-borne operation, fortified by loan of two of Brigadier General William D. Old's troop carrier squadron planes and pilots (American). Beginning D plus 1 night, General Old fired his American and British squadron planes into "Broadway" (code name for strip) at a rate that would have left the dispatcher at LaGuardia dizzy.

Recently General Henry H. Arnold, chief of the A.A.F., made a strong bid before attentive Congressmen for Jacqueline Cochran's WASPs, contending that all men pilots would eventually be needed elsewhere (TIME, April 3).
