Ninth Army (Continued from Page One) What a Town-Buster' Adds Up To Brings His Own 'Bubbles' and tons of supplies into the Allied bridgeheads east of the Rhine. The sky over the Rhine's east bank was black with planes as the full might of Allied airpower flailed " the Germans from the river to Berlin. An estimated 14,000 planes took part in the record-breaking aerial assault supporting the offensive. There was every indication that the Allied bridgeheads across the Rhine soon would be merged and strengthened by numerous bridges across the broad but comparatively compara-tively shallow river. More than 3,000 transports and sliders were used to drop Lt. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton's first Allied airborne army onto German Ger-man forces guarding the road to Berlin, 280 miles away. More than 1,600 tons of supplies were dropped to the troops immedi ately after their landing by Z4u Liberator bombers. Reports of the junction, which front dispatches said was made at noon between Scottish ground troops and American airborne forces, were greeted with unconcealed uncon-cealed pleasure at Allied supreme headquarters. Brig. Gen. Floyd I. Parks, chief of staff of the First Allied airborne air-borne army, grinned as he told correspondents that the linkup had been solidly cemented by 4 p. m. six hours after the troops dropped. Parks said the landings all were made from three to five miles inland and were a "whale of a success." He disclosed that four generals had jumped with the troops. The Allies are known to have five divisions in the First airborne air-borne army the American 17th, 82nd and 101st airborne divisions and the British 1st and 6th airborne air-borne divisions. Parks disclosed that three had been dropped in three hours startine at 10 a. m.
