— اسرع الطائرات الحربية في العالم —

للجيش الاميركي طائرة مصفحة من الطراز المطارد المعترض تزيد سرعتها على ٤٥٠ ميلا في الساعة طيرانا مستويا. وهي تستطيع ان تحلق وتطير في اعالي السحاب على ارتفاع شاهق فلذلك هي من اهم الطائرات التي نشأت في أثناء هذه الحرب. وقد وسّعت الولايات المتحدة مصانع الطائرات الى اكثر من ضعف ما كانت عليه قبلا. وهي منصرفة الان الى بناء اسطول جوّي هائل. وسياسة الولايات المتحدة القومية تبعا لارادة السواد الاعظم ان الدول المعتدية لن تفوز.

— The fastest warplane in the world —

The American Army has an armoured aircraft of the interceptor-pursuit type whose speed exceeds 450 miles an hour in level flight. It can soar and fly in the upper clouds at a very great altitude, and therefore it is among the most important aircraft to have appeared during this war. The United States has expanded its aircraft factories to more than double what they were before, and is now devoted to building a huge air fleet. The national policy of the United States, in accordance with the will of the great majority, is that the aggressor nations will not win.

President Roosevelt
