Expert tells how U.S. can bomb Jap cities
New York (UP) –
Senator Elbert D. Thomas (D-UT) wants U.S. planes to bomb Japanese cities immediately and Maj. Alexander P. de Seversky, aircraft designer, told how it could be done in articles published by the American Magazine today.
Mr. Thomas said the war in the Pacific needs a “hypodermic” and that 1,000 bombs dropped on the munitions factories of Tokyo and Osaka would “save the lives of 50,000 American soldiers and sailors.”
Maj. Seversky proposed construction of a fleet of super-bombers like the Douglas B-19 and the Glenn Martin flying boat which could operate against Japan from Alaskan bases.
He said these ships have a range of nearly 80,000 miles, with 18 tons of bombs, and Japan lies within a 3,000 miles radius of Alaska.
