New mpd-el- s of planes have been sent into battle before they were thoroughly tested in the lab- 000 a year In the era of disarmament and peace treaties, this laboratory laid the foundation for the new science of aeronautics, which again brought leadership to America. Nazi Research Expanded. But when Hitler came to power in 1933, he recognized that he must have the strongest air force in the world if he was to subdue the world. With foresight and intelligence, Germany began by concentrating upon scientific research.
