Berlin Airlift
To Be Stepped Up
Despite Shortage
Great Falls Alrforce Base,
Mont., Dec. 9 UP MaJ. Gen. Rob-;
ert E. Nowland, commander of
the military air transport serv
ice's continental division, said to-
t day the Berlin airlift will be step-;
; ped up despite a critical shortage
i of spare parts for C-54 transport :
i planes.
Nowlanu estimaieu in an imer
view that 25 per cent of the air
lift planes constantly are out of
service because of overhaul re
quirements and parts shortages.
I l lie l'.Jt any iHuoivi a nun iti-
liiun five venrs of ape. he said.
and none .have been built since ,
the war. j
Despite the difficulties, Now
land said, the transport service is
shooting for an airlift force of
225 operational planes, wilh 50
or more in "pipeline status," for
a total of 275. This would be
enough to carry 4,500 tons of car
go per day by the Jan. 1 "target
date."
Seek Critical Items
Nowland said the airforce Is
calling on the Douglas Aircraft
company lo resume spare parts
production at its Long Beach, Cal.,
plant. He said the airforce also
is combing its slocks "the world
over" to collect critical supply I
items and lick the problem.
Engines are the most critical
items, he said, but many other
small parts in short supply can
keep needed planes on the ground.
He said scarce parts include de
icers and small valves.
Nowland said the base here at
Great Falls was selected as the
site for training Berlin airlift pi
lots because it is off the beaten
airways, It is uncongested, and
it 'affords plenty of opportunity
for instrument flying because of
the weather.
Nowland said preparations also
are being made to train navy pi
lots here. He said the airforce
has been getting "plenty of pi
lots," but that the big problemis
getting them with the required
1,200 hours, mostly in four-engine
planes, for airlift duty.
He said the plan of recruiting
reserve pilots from civilian life
has been working well, and that
he is hoping to get airline pilots
laid off for the winter.
Nowland said airlift takeoffs
have been delayed on many oc
casions, because of winter condi
tions in Germany. The experi
ence in Berlin, he said, "proves
beyond doubt" the value of
ground control approach radar
for use in bad weather landings.
