1 Jul 1940

5. Paragraph 6 (c). In the light of such information as we have been able to obtain, it is considered that these tactical ranges are considerably underestimated and may well be doubled. 6. Paragraph 6 (d). It is considered that the production of gliders on a very large scale would divert some manpower from aircraft production, but would not seriously affect it. 7. Paragraph 6 (e). Although intelligence information cannot confirm that these results have been obtained by the Germans, we consider, as a result of our enquiries, that they may well be true.
