HONOLULU, Feb. 22 (UP)—The Hawaiian Air Corps was augmented today by 31 P-36 pursuit planes, transported secretly to Honolulu by aircraft carrier Enterprise in an unprecedented act of cooperation between the army and navy.
The planes were transferred from March Field, Cal., to the Enterprise. The carrier anchored off Honolulu yesterday morning, and from her decks the planes rose in threes to land on the army's Wheeler Field.
Only the highest army and navy officials had known they were coming, and it was almost 12 hours before the arrival was announced.
