Air Power Again May Be
Deciding Factor As weeks
Fight to Repel Fascists
By DEVON FRANCIS
Associated Press Aviation Editor
NEW YORK, Nov. 13 Once
again in a period of fourteon
months air power stands a good
chunce of spelling victory or do
feat In one theatre of operations
of Europe's war, this time In the
eastern Mediterranean.
Ever since 1035, with the start
of the Ethiopian campaign, fas
cist Italy has boaated of her air
force ai a factor offsetting Its
lack of a big navy.
Premier Mussolini's venture
Into Greece promises to evoke
the first severe test to which his
air legions have been put
But the Greek campaign,
undertaken In part to make
Great Britain's position in the
Near East untenable, exposes
Italy to two hazards. The British
Mediterranean fleet continues to
function and Is buttressed, now,
by a refurbished royal air force.
British air power numerically
Is Inferior to Italy's, but day by
day it is growing strong In the
Near East. On the ebb and flow
of the air war may well depend
the ultimate outcome of the cam
paign. First, let's look at the role air
power has played up to date.
It contributed mightily to the
German conquests of Poland, the
Netherlands, Belgium and
France. The British admitted the
striking power of the German
air force was the decisive factor
In the conquest of Norway.
"Local" air superiority en
'.bled the British to save their
withdrawing armies at Dunksr
que. The German failure to reduce
the British Isles from the air has
been a tribute to air power a
successful defensive by the RAF,

Now let's look nt the situation
In the Mediterranean.
To succeed in it! conquest of
the eastern Inland sea, Italy
must establish and maintain
definite air superiority In the ab
sence of sea superiority; Greece
must be subdued and Marshal
Grazianl's armies must be sup
plied In Africa during their at
tempted march on Egypt.
As long as the British Medi
terranean fleet is operative,
Italy's communication line to
Africa Is In constant danger of
being cut.
Intensification of Italy's at
tacks on that fleet naturally fol
lows. Air attacks on warships have
been no novelty In this war.
British submarines and de
stroyers have been sunk from
the air, and German and Italian
submarines have succumbed to
British air attacks. Last year
German airmen sank tho British
aircraft carrier Glorious.
Torpedo-plane attacks are be
ing mentioned with Increased
frequency . In the communiques
of both sides.
Britain's ability to cope with
tho Italian air force In support
of the Greeks ond In defense of
her own fleet will constitute a
large measure of her ability to
frustrate Premier Mussolini's de
signs in the Near East.
Britain as yet has Insufficient
planes In tha Near East for a
major blow. Against that fact
can be weighed disadvantages
besetting Italy a lack of con
struction materials due to the
blockade, the meager flying ex
perience of her pilots and the
questionable effectiveness of an
air force pitted against a navy.
Tho Wlllkies don't weep.
