The Board asked for a detailed report on the airline*s requirements for foreign equipment. It is hoped that this report will be available for submission to the Aircraft Production Board by the middle of April. It is estimated that the first aircraft will be received in the fourth quarter of 1945. (American Aviation Daily - April 4, 1945)
