b. The productive capacity above presently scheduled
 
production available in the United States.
 
     3- Based upon the third revision of the Anglo-American Consolidated 
 
Statement, the present stocks and scheduled production of the United Kingdom, 
 
Canada and the United States can provide the following means of warfare in 
 
1942:
 
     a. Aircraft.
 
          (1) As of the beginning of the year 1942, approximately
 
     700 heavy bombers are on hand, with a production of 5,000 in 1942. 
 
     Assuming a six months life in operation against the enemy, and one-
 
     third of those on hand available to units in actual combat,  the 
 
     striking force of heavy bombers may be estimated to increase from 
 
     250 in early 1942 to 1,500 by the end of that year.
 
          (2) A similar consideration, indicates that the prospective
 
     striking force which can be maintained will be:

                       b.   Ammunitions for Aircraft. Ammunition requirements for main-
 
taining the aircraft in paragraph 2 a (2), compared with quantities
 
available are as follows:
