May 19. UP American Army and Navy fliers in all battle theatres have destroyed approximately 25,000 enemy planes siuce our entry into the war with a loss of a little over 6.000 U. S. aircraft, official estimates revealed today. Gen.

Henry- H. Arnold, at a press conference yesterday, said that the Army Air Forces 'between 'Dec. 7, 1941. and May 15. 1944, had destroyed a total of 20,174 enemy planes 16,510 in aerial combat and 3.004 on the ground.

In addition, he said. Army fliers probably have destroyed 10.510 more enemy planes and damaged 5.540. V. S. Army losses for the same period stand at 5,954 combat planes, Arnold said.

Of these 5,718 were shot, down in air fights and 230 were destroyed by Hie enemy before they had an opportunity to take off. The Navy air forces, meanwhile, contributed formidably to the 25.000 grand total by shooting down more than 4.000 enemy planes in air battles. This score cost about 080 naval aircraft. However, the Navy did not have available at this time any estimate of the number of enemy planes Navy fliers had destroyed on the ground. After the recent records set by Navy airmen in the Pacific in this respect, however, it is clear that a final accounting will up the naval box score considerably.
