New York, July 20.
In the year 1928, Germany and Italy beat the United States in exports of planes and aviation material to eighteen countries, Mr. John Jouett, President of the American Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, declared in his report on the world market in aviation.
Owing to Government credits, barter agreements; and the despatch of air missions, the Axis Powers exported more planes and aviation material than the United States in six Latin American countries during 1938, he added.
In that year, the United States exported a total of $68,209,050 Worth of planes, motors, and spare parts, he continued. "Germany follows with $27,183,501, exceeding Great Britain for the first time, this Power being third with $26,501,340. Italy comes next with $8,821,493 followed by France with $3,752,208. The total sales of Germany and Italy amounted to $36,004,994, as against $30,252,548 for France and Great Britain. Germany sold to Japan $4,303,545 worth of planes and spare parts in 1938."—Havas.
