...Wells, in Little Wars, told how he and his friends had played with toy cannon, soldiers, houses and mock terrain, a play war of "brisk little battles." In 1917 Hudson Maxim, the inventor and explosives expert, revealed with some disgust that he had been forced to redesign his own war game to include the new factor of airpower. A New Yorker profile of Norman Bel Geddes in 1941 noted...
Jean Knox's formula for womanly morale: "No woman can be happy in her job unless she's well-dressed." Her first plans last week were to redesign the A.T.S.' ungainly bell skirt, do away with Mrs. Bloomer's famed undergarment. She instructed camp tailoresses: "Take an inch up on the shoulder, raise the shoulder line, shorten sleeves, give more wrapover in front. . . ."

...completely independent air force would be effective only under a supreme command like the Nazis' Great General Staff, directing Army, Navy and Air. The U.S. has no such supreme command, and any effort to set one up in the midst of emergency would require "a general reorganization and redesign of the entire defense organization of this nation...
...Ordnance inefficiencies? Hell, yes," says Mr. Glancy, "but it's a marvel to me how they held together at all under that kind of expansion. For 20 years Ordnance officers have been begging this manufacturer to develop a sight, that manufacturer to redesign a breech block, another for a recoil mechanism, with never enough money to back it up, and now all of a sudden ordnance is expected to have mass production. It just isn't in the wood...
...Edison thought that the Navy should rearmor, redesign the topsides of its ships to resist bomb fragments, flying splinters. Naval top hats last week indicated that they leaned more to increasing the numbers of anti-aircraft guns on the ships. Whatever the method they eventually decided on, they had substantially conceded Charles Edison's point. It would be a long job, in any case. To rearm or rearmor ships now with the Fleet would take five to six years, the Navy Department announced. In that case, the seven months lost between May and December 1940 probably made no difference...
