Schwab will tell of his 1943

while flying cover for the Bou-
gainville operation further
north. At the time he was not
flying but was directing air
traffic from the landing field's
control tower.
Cone led an infantry platoon
into Tarawa late in November,
1943. and was still there Christ
mas Day, but working instead
of fighting. They were rebuild
ing the island after the battle,
and paused just long enough to
cat a turkey dinner before go
ing back to worK.
He is also a veteran of the
battles for Guadalcanal, Saipan
and Tinian, and was slightly
wounded by shell fragments on
Saipan. Sergeant Schwab saw
aerial action over New Georgia,
Rendova, Vella Lavella, Kolom-
bongara and Bougainville, and
flew with the marines' unique
SCAT airline from Australia
through the Solomons and as
far as the Admiralty group of
islands.

American factories delivered 0,
369 nlanrs of all tvnes in 1944
bringing production since July 1.
1940, to an axis-staggering total
of 253,256.
The 1944 output represented
an increase of 11,423 planes, but
by using weight us the yardstick
tho increase exceeded 50 per
cent. Weight now is regarded ns
a more accurate gauge, sinco it
reflects the increasing sire, and
consequently greater hitting
power, of aircraft now coming
off the assembly lines.
The trend toward greater
average weight will continue in
1945, with increasing numbers
of B-Z9 Superfortresses and
other giants on the year's
schedule.
Present planning calls for 78,
227 planes in 1943, but Chair
man J. A. Krug of the war pro
duction board said today the in
dications are that this will be
jumped up.
December deliveries totaled
6697 planes, a slight decrease
from November's 6747. but there
was no decline on a weight basis
