The Air Offensive
in the West
By Brigadier General H. S. Sewell.
Mr• Winston Churchill has told us
that the great raid on Cologne is
only a foretaste of the operations
which are planned to be carried out
methodically over Germany. This
means that production and supply of
planes from English and American
factories is assured. The Bomber
Coniniantl of the RAF in recent per-
formances has proved its ability to
operate large forces in the air. In
this work it will soon be joined by
units of the U.S. air force.
I More than 1,000 planes took part
in the raids on Cologne and Essen—
and 1.000 planes a night over Ger-
many. according to Air Marshall A.
T. Harris, chief of the British Bomb-
er Command. would mean the end of
the war by fall! A splendid aim for a
commander in his position, and for
all who serve under him, this is a
hope that we should not indulge in
too great confidence, as there are
other factors in addition to air power
necessary for winning the war.
An Air Expert's View
The day after the Cologne raid
took place, the air correspondent of
the London Observer analyzed the
task of organizing what would be
necessary to maintain an average of
1,000 planes nightly over Germany in
the following terms. Weather condi-
tions would not permit flying on cer-
tain nights, so to keep up the aver-
age, no fewer than 3,000 would have
to be sent out on some occasions.
On nights when 3,000 aircraft were
being sent to (jermany, assuming
that two squadrons would operate
from one airdrome, more than 120
airdromes would be needed, and
these can be matte available for use.
Fnm'-eneined bombers such as the
Lancaster, Stirling anti Halfax carry
a crew- of seven, and twin -engined
Wellingtons and Whitleys carry live.
Thus the 3.000 bombers would carry
a tett,' fir 18.000, including pilots and
crews. To operate heavy bombers, n
Ictal ground staff of at least twenty
is required directly or indirectly for
ouch man sent into the air, Bence,
to prepare for such a raid a staff of
between 360,000 and 400,000 would
have to he employed.
it is not permissible to give the
exact homb•carrying capacity of the
Lancaster, Stirling and Halifax, but
it has been disclosed that one Stirl-
ing, for instancd, can carry as great
a bomb load as a whole squadron or
Blenheim, The number of bombers
sent over Germany is not s0 import-
ant as the towage of bombs they
can drop. If one machine anti one
erew can carry as much destruction
to Ger)ttauty as twc ecoid .a few
months ago, so mulch the better. Two
twirl-etigtiietl bombers require an
opearting crew of ten and ;a ground
maintenance staff of ten, whereas
one four -engined machine requires
only seven men in the air and a like
number on the ground.
The bomb load which can be car-
ried, of pause, depends on the dist-
ance of the target gram the bombers'
base, the bomb tonnage being in dir-
ect ratio to th'"e weight of fuel noises.
sary for the journey.
Two Tone of Bombs
Allowing for the present proportion
or fuor-engined machines to twin -
engined, the average bomb load Would
be just :under fwo tons pre machine.
On that basis 8,000 bombers could
drop about 5,500 tons of high explos-
ives and incendiaries on Germany in
one night.
The effect of such a quantity of
bombs can be imagined, when it is
born in mind that the heaviest
weight dropped by the enemy on Bri-
tain on even the Worst nights was
not much over 600 tons. The London
Observer's air. correspondent can-
clndes by stating that in his opinion
it may be some time yet before the
Bomber Command can drop such a
load even with the eventual help of
American bombers and crews operat-
ing from Britain.
Complete supremacy In the air is a
necessary preliminary to an invasion
of the continent by allied land
forces. Though this may not be
achieved for some time ,yet, the of-
fensive by English bombers and
fighters has already done much to
relieve the Gorman pressure on
Russia. The RAF, by ' keeping 3,000
out of a total 5,000 German frontline
planes tied down in Norway, West
Europe, Malta. Libya antl Germany
itself to meet the nightly raids,
leaves only 2,000 German-front-lhle
planes on the 2,000 miles from Mur-
mansk to the Black Sea, and only 800
in the Ukraine. The tendency is to
think that the RAF is giving this aid
only to Russia.
Effect Elsewhere
But though this is a big undertak-
ing, it is not nearly the whole story.
Consider the direct effect of tying
down German power, which would
otherwise be available elsewhere —

MILLIONS OF PINS
Give Up Their Metal to Hand
Grenades
Britain used 1,500,000,000 fewer
pins last year than iu 1940, and there
will be several million fewer this
year: already men's new shirts have
surrendered the dozen pins with
which it was the quite mnteeessary
ritual to fasten then up.
The steel and brass from which
they are made are doing a more
important job to -day. The steel goes
into anything from a hand grenade
upwards; the brass becomes any-
thing from a gas mask fastener to a
Bofors cartridge. .
Yet one firm alone can still pro-
ducts 60,000,000 pins a week, an out-
put which before the war would have
brought in 250,000 a year. The pin
itself has its war uses. The aircraft
industry! needs huge quantities for
pinning fabric together, ,Britain's
Stationery Office buys very largely

Governments, including the India
