Experts agree that aviation strength would prove to be the most important factor in a war over Formosa. Michael Gordon, Tokyo correspondent of the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch, cabled his newspaper on January 27 that "the combined air strength of the Soviet Union and communist China in the Far East today is estimated to be at least three times that of the United States and the Nationalist Chinese. As to Communist China's army, experts already refer to it as the "second largest in the world." In contrast Gordon puts the strength of the United States Far Eastern air force at about 2,500 planes.
