57. Memo for Arnold from Towers,
14 Feb. 1942. The AAF had sought in-
formation concerning the proposed em-
ployment of the planes requested (see
R&R, Arnold to Harmon, 3 Feb. 1942).
In his memorandum of 14 February
Admiral Towers declared: “The uncer-
tainty as to the precise areas in which
the Fleet may be called upon to operate
makes it impracticable to list with pre-
cision the operating areas and bases of
the requested landplane bombers. rn
general, they are assigned to Fleet Patrol
Wings, with the exception of two Marine
medium bombardment groups for de-
fense of outlying bases for which the
Navy has accepted responsibility. It may
be expected that they will be employed
in northern waters, where seaplane op-
eration is difficult or impossible by reason
of ice conditions, and from shore bases
elsewhere, in the discharge of Naval air
functions, where their performance ren-
ders them superior to seaplane patrol
planes.”
