the southeast corner of the Cariib

security of the area as well as
the ability of fleet to insure the
integrity of the Monroe Doc

He said the United States nav
al aircraft is believed to be super
ior to foreign naval aircraft, bas
ed on or operated from ships;
also, that this country is “consid
erably in advance” over foreign
powers in developing aerial
bomb sights and bombing accur
acy.” -
