WASHINGTON—In the fall *ol
1918. the country was swamped
with Liberty 'airplane* engines.
Fourteen years later, they still
were being used as the power
plants of some of our military
planes. In the meantime, Ger
many, Italy, and England, to men
tion, only the leaders, had brought
out new motors.
In one wartime month, this
country produced more than 24,
000 engines for military planes. In
January of this year, that same
industry produced on order 23
conventional motors. Strikes pre
vented production of about 25 of
other types.
Ir. 1934, the annual production
of military aircraft engines
touched its between-war low—
688.
A little more than a year ago,
Robert M. Lovett, then assistant
secretary of war for air, summed
up the comparative picture in
these words:
“We have the advantage of a
shining example of what not to
do. We find it in the period fol
lowing the first World War. Sur
plus Liberty engines (then) choked
off our aircraft industries and de
velopment untli we fell way be
hind the procession.
“This problem of surpluses con
tinued through 1932, 14 years af
ter the last war, and in 1928
brought a formal protest from the
War Department, pointing out that
engine development for the air
corps had been seriously handi
capped by the existence of this
surplus hanging over the market.
There were 3,000 Liberty engines
still on hand at that date, 10 years
after the war. We cannot afford to
repeat the mistakes.”
Three of the major airlines al
ready have bought 702 surplus en
gines from the War Assets Corpo
ration—enough to do them for the
next two years, it is estimated, in
spite of the rapid growth of com
mercial aviation.
This will account for an esti
mated half of the expected com
mercial plane expansion for those
two years and there are, of course,
still plenty of surplus motors left
that can be sold and adapted for
commercial use. As a matter of
fact, according to industry esti
mates, War Assets Corporation
will have about 72,000 surplus en
gines (all types' on its hands by
June and at least a third of these
will be salable.
What happens to the industry
in the meantime?
