NKW YORK, Dec. 2 (Wide
Vnrll- Tension In the Pr.lflc
ha led to revival of occasional
warnings by commentators ac
qvinlntrcl with the Fur East Hint
. It would be I mistake to under
) estimate Japanese air power.
Coupled with inch statement,
however, are lha more (nmlllnr
appraisal of Jpnnro aviation,
Irs complementary and mors
sanguine of the outcome If the
Inland empire came to grips with
another major world power.
Slnvularly onotinh, In all that
ha been written of Japanese air
power In the I a t four yean,
no one haa taken a middle
courae. The JapaneM have either
superlative alrplanea and good
pllola, or they have obsolescent
plane and poor plloti.
Much of the mystery thrown
about the JapaneM In the air
temi from the secrecy with
which the army and navy have
pursued their developments. The
occidental seldom If ever Is per
mitted to glimpse, let alone ex
amine, Japanese made war-planes.
f The western world knows that
Japan In four years of fighting
has neutralized Chlneso a I r
power, but China, of course, had
little to begin with.
At the start of tne "China In
cident" Jupanese bombers had
notoriously poor aim, but that
was four yeara ago and Japan
critics concede that the air force
has shown a vast Improvement.
A for plane, Mark J. Gains
borough, Far Eastern corre
spondent of the Washington, D.
C, Post, and a British army of
ficer, It. S. Mazat, wrote In Feb
ruary, 1040, that the Japanese
had a twin-engine pursuit mount
ing from six to eight gun and
capable of 350 mile an hour.
It had been In service more
than a year. Only now I the
United States starting the quan
tity manufacture of a similar
type of plane.
Writing In the magazine "U.
8 Air Services," Glnsbourg and
Mazet asserted Japanese bomb
er and fighting plane were su
perior to soviet plane forming
the bulk of the Hussion air force
In the Far East. They decrlbed
Japan as a major aviation power.
Charles Mealy Day; who for
several y e r I manufactured
planes In China for the Chiang
Kai-Shek government, sold on
his return to the United States
two year ago that the workman
ship and performance of Japan
ese plane compared favorably
with those of American plane.
Balanced against such state
menu are other which frequent
ly poke ridicule at Japanese avia
tion. Luclen Zacharoff, writing
In the magazine "Aviation," In
August, aald: "Japan would
crumble like a house of card
If engaged in a great air war."
The "Army and Navy" Jour
nal," edited In Washington, D.
C, In 1037, 'quoted some un
named American army officers
a saying the Japanese had a
marked inaptitude for aviation,
parked by poor shooting. Lynn
j:. Thomas in the magazine,
"Western Flying" for September
said the Japanese air force suf
fered from a "mlclde psychosis"
which led It pilot deliberately
to dive their bomb-laden plane
Into their target.
Most writer agree that the
Japanese do not have a large
preponderance of planes. An
average estimate put their first
line strength at 5000 machines
Apparently more critical I the
availability of pilot. Military
schools until recently were turn
ing out les than 1000 a year.
