of scouts, pursuit planes, demolition pienee, light and
heavy bombers, etc., the following have recently been added:
     Large landing and transport planes. The new planes
have a carrying capacity of from 125 to 150 men with full
equipment, in addition there are special types for the
transportatlon of one-man tanks, artillery arms and engineer
material, ae well as other offensive and defensive weapons
of all types for close and long-range combat (such as flame
projectors, bombs, shells, antt-tank area, rapid-fire and
other arms }.
          The transport planes are combined with several rather
large gliders. Aa the result of new inventions, the latter
are hooked onto the transport airplanes. Take-off, trans-
portation in the air and release are effected by automatic
devices and releases.  In February these landing planes were
tested with positive results. The construction procedure is
that of Messerschmidt, of Augsburg and Regensburg.
     The produotion calculated is based on the transportation 
of 300,000 men (about 100 divisions) within a given number 
of hours, including take-off and landinng.  The air distances
are calculated.  These are besides the special transports
for the heavy munitions of war.
