Item discusses fighter production, aircraft production in general, and the effects of USAAF (united states army air forces) attacks on: German tank production; the bearing industry; oil and the synthetic oil and gasoline plants (big USASF problem, as there were some 81 plants dispersed); and armament factories, motor transportation, and chemicals.
