Lovett pleaded, cajoled--and reasoned-for more bombers. He got all the help he needed out of his Air Corps officers, from veteran Lieut. General "Hap" Arnold down. His arguments were the stuff that many a sound airman had been talking for a long time, without knowing how to make them effective. He was articulate, and persuasive. In the midst of argument his orderly mind ticked off "a," "b," "c," on his fingers-the points as cogent as a lawyer's brief. After Lovett came, the bombers were ordered...
...prize plane, the high-flying Thunderbolt (P-47) had already won it a plump Army order (total: $56,500,000, some of which was ticketed for P-43s). But last week not a single Thunderbolt (except the "mock-up") had yet been delivered. Few weeks ago Major General "Hap" Arnold, Air Forces chief, dropped in at the Farmingdale, L.I. plant. He was so impressed by what he saw that the Army more than doubled Republic's backlog (to around...
...That Major General Henry H. ("Hap"') Arnold, who used to be Chief of Air Corps but was kicked upstairs to the General Staff last year, is now the one & only commander of The Army Air Forces. General Arnold is responsible to Chief of Staff George Marshall, but subject to this condition he now has more range of authority, more freedom of decision than was ever before granted any U.S. Army airman...
Home last week from the air war over Britain came one of the many high-ranking U.S. observers who have flitted in & out of the war zone. To reporters Major General Henry H. ("Hap") Arnold, onetime Chief of Air Corps, now a Deputy Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, was mum on military matters (he may have cruised over Occupied France and Germany in a British bomber, as U.S, observers are authorized to do). But his return was signalized by an official announcement that several young U.S. pilots will soon get a chance to see that war. This...
Well might "Hap" Arnold be impressed, because the big end of the Air Corps's engine purchases for pursuit airplanes is in liquid-cooled power plants of half the Napier Sabre's power. For General Motors' Allisons the Army has laid out $159,500,000, and it has contracted for $62,448,000 of Rolls-Royce Merlins to be built by Packard. While waiting for General Arnold to report, Air Corpsmen could find comfort in another fact: whatever was done about liquid-cooled engine buying, it would soon be getting a lot more power...
