won by the side that had command Of
the air. A superior air force would
enable the side having it to know all

could attack troops in the field, bomb
fortified cities and disrupt the enemy's

Pauline confided to her escort during
the brief railway-trip that she had a
little the edge on any of the army
buyers. 1t happened that she knew
a bit about horseflesh, herself. Then,
one of her fathers old troopers, was

corral in. the outskirts of Mexico. She
had ridden with him in the Philippines
