Superforts Make
Show of Strength
For West'n Powers
DENVER, —i/P>—A Denver Post
writer said today a European
bound flight of superfortresses
make” a show of strength for the
Western Powers” before the April
18 elections in Italy.
Lee Callison, writing under a
dateline “Over the Atlantic Aboard
a B-29,” wrote this:
“The group’s top officers say
they expect to go from Germany
to Italy ‘for a show of strength
for the Western Powers’ before
the April 18 elections.”
Callison added:
"The number of superfortresses
and men are secret, but it will
take hours for the group to land
when they arrive at Furstenfeld
bruk, Germany, their ‘home’ while
in Europe.
"Following the expected Ital
ian maneuvers by the group, the
B-29 goliaths are expected to fly
to Saudi Arabia where the U. S.
has one of its biggest B-29 air
dromes and a point, incidentally,
within close range of most of
Russia.
