Captain E. V. Rickenbacker, lead- ing United States flying aoe in the inst ivar, says British aircraft fac- tories are "hanging up warplanes in storage by their tails, like beeves because England hasn't 80f. the pilots to fly them."

Discussing aLr defence needs in relation to a forthcoming aviation forum in Washington, he said in on interview that an adequate number of pilots and ground per- sonnel is the foremost problem and cited the British situation as an example.

(Cttpfalil Rickenbacker gave no source or authority for hi: state- ment.)

Rickenbacker also said Germany began preparing for war in the air l3 pars ago andrquoted u German strategist, colonel-General Eli-hard Mllch, as having told 111m in 1922 in Berlin that "the entire future of the German nation will centre in the dewiopment of our air force."

In 1935, Rickenbacker again vis- ited Germany and was shown underground machine shops and airdromes, Lnd the pilot trainingi and research facilities which Her_ mun Goerlug, Milch and others had built up.

"Adolf Hitler was not the author of the idea. of air supremacy and European conquest," the filer said, "lie merely used the idea which hud been under development.”
