85. General Brereton was probably
exaggerating when he stated that all the
heavy bombers were out of commission,
for when orders came for him to take
them to the Middle East most of the
planes were flown out. They were cer-
tainly not in first-class combat condition,
but at least a few must have been flyable
when Brereton's report was sent. (CM-
