...Fairchild acquired 33 plants, 17 under lease, 16 under subcontract. It owned three. Commented Richard Schley Boutelle, vice president and manager, "We didn't buy a damned thing outright...
These are but a small sample of the jobs now being done by airline-operated cargo planes working with the newly formed Army Air Service Command. When the Army last month bought outright almost half the 324-plane U.S. airline fleet, it kept 63 planes to use as troop transports. The Army then leased 96 remaining planes back to the airlines, gave them the job of carrying every ounce of Army air freight in the Western Hemisphere. The Ferry Command flies most of the Army's freight going to Africa, Australia, other far-off places...
Nothing quite like it has ever happened in the history of U.S. religious sects. Last week one denomination gave another denomination an outright gift worth $400,000.

Cost to the Army: $1 per year per airline plus expenses. The Army will also buy outright an-other 75-plus transports, to be pushed into regular Army service as fast as a coat of Army paint can be slapped on. In these ships Army bigwigs and Washington officials will fly all over the world, with no stops for airline tickets, favored passengers, or other peacetime doodads. All such flying must be strictly war business...
