- Description
- Glider Troop Attack! Now the army travels by air in swift, silent gliders. Here at Wright Field these hardy, specially trained fighters pile out, looking for trouble. They're practicing for the real thing. Official Photograph, U.S. Air Forces. Future Officers Man the Guns. They get instructions in Jap blasting aboard one of the Navy's new battle-ships. Middie wearing earphones and mouthpiece receives angle, range and scale. Gun captain is at breech, and the middie looking through the telescope yells "Fire". Official U.S. Navy Photograph. Target Sighted! These U.S. soldiers in bleak Iceland are just about to let fly with everything their gun has. They keep a 24-hour vigil watching for Nazi planes that may try to scout or bomb this vital Atlantic stronghold. Photo by U.S. Army Signal Corps. Schools Speed Victory. Students Build Plane Models to Exact Scale. In high schools all over the country, American youth is helping to bring victory nearer by building models of Allied and Axis planes. Scaled 1 to 72, the planes are inspected and sent to Army and Navy training schools. They are used to train gunners in estimating a target's distance. At right--putting finishing touches on a model four motored patrol bomber at Cass Technical High, Detroit. Get Hep! Have a Rep! Give Uncle Sam a lift! Be in the know about how to make nickels and dimes do the most good! Every War Saving Stamp you buy is a big boost toward victory. One 10 War Stamp will pay for enough oxygen to keep a bomber pilot high above most enemy planes for 40 minutes. Two 10 War Stamps will buy the gas to inflate this sailor's life belt. Two 25 War Stamps will buy the fuel to drive this destroyer one mile. These are things worth buying. Our soldiers and sailors are depending on you. Buy War Saving Stamps every day!
