French or Gorman prices on a commodity for profit but the first order and final rtrder to American enKineers was to create a l etter engine and plane than any thing existing and to build in larger j quantities than had ever been j dreamed of.

Other changes were so vital that it was necessary to redesign to meet the conditions. There are only two or three men in America who are capable of designing and tailor ing a lOtnplete airplane, and even these few American engineers are r.ot capable of making successful öesigns of the different types of ma chines wanted. The aircraft board has been almost entirely composed of civilians ami otheers either en tirely without aviation experience of any kind, or with a very limited knowledge of it, and the informa tion supplied by officers of the allies was in a ureat many cases confus ing. It was not necessary to shift rapidly from one type of construc tion and from one apparently mot important design to varied types. and several designs.
