bomber

We had short-range bombers, army co-operation types, navy types, 37 different types without any standardization.

Is there any factory in that country where these bombers can be built?

Part of that deterrent is the means to protect the bases from which the bombers go.

Our general line will, therefore, be to improve these two bombers by stretching out their performance in the next few years.

As the speed of bombers constantly increases, however, so it becomes increasingly vital to get greater range for the early warning system.

If we are now spending so much of our energy on bombers, what will happen to the industry in a few years' time?

Even if only a fraction of those bombers get through, this enormous expenditure will be publicly unjustified.

Then there is the advent of jet bombers and fighters.

If so, it is important that it should be made quite clear, because of the discouraging effect on men engaged in manufacturing dive-bombers.

Bombers are not mobile, being tied to airfields.

Suppose there is a crash of one of these nuclear-armed bombers, followed by fire.

We have at present a powerful force of bombers.

The vast majority of those who were building engines ready to go straight into the bombers were the womenfolk.

How will they maintain defence against a continuous raid, or close intervals of raiding bombers?

The other is the existing bombers, whatever nuclear rôle they have, and, as we have said, these also should and must be internationalised.
