Then, suddenly, the fantasy feebling crumbles away. Bursting into the brilliant light within the hangar, you know that this is no game. This is war. In the center of the huge shed mechanics are giving last-minute checkups to the camouflaged bombers, brist- ling with guns, soon to start an- oter patrol. An air of drama is completely lacking. There is neither studied casualness or studied tension. The men work at their jobs simply, normally, naturally.
 Pilots and crews here maintain a 24-hour alert, ready to take to the air at -instant's notice at happens to be early morning when this particular patrol will start, but 1t is no dawn patrol The dawn patrol" in fact, cx- ists only as popular myth, for in reality bombers are patroling 24 hours a day-one flight overlap ping the next.

 In a large room at one side of the hangar, pilots and officers some on alert duty, some waiting for this patrol-are playing TO- cent blackjack. All of them are young, mostly in their early twenties. Many are southerners.
 The pilots now receive flight orders. Even here, in the opera tions room, there is no sign of ten- sion, no forced casualness. The commanding officer is working quietly at his desk in one corner

of the room. A young intelligence officer is giving final information.
 The pilots, who only a few mo- ments ego were in regular uni forms, have donned their heavy flying togs-thick, fur-lined jac- kets, trousers and boots. It is cold above the North Atlantic on winter mornings. Their long visored caps, protection against sun and cold, give the men the appearance of trout fishermen. But their brilliant yellow life belts, inflated in an emergency with one jerk of a cord, dispel all thoughts of sport.
 MAPS SHOW LOCATION
 OF FRIENDLY SHIPPING
 The young intelligence officer points to a large blackboard map which takes up one side of the room. On 1t is chalked the latest information on friendly shipping activity. "What does number four look like" asks Scotty, slight, sandy haired lieutenant whose youthful face bellies the veterans experience which the pilots chartboard on the wall prvoes he has had. The intelligence officer shows him a picture of the ship.
 And what about number seven?" Scotty asks.
 You won't have to worry about her. You won't see her today"
 As each pilot receives his code orders he leaves the room, picks up his crew. There is no theatri- calism. No saluting. No restrain ed words of luck. It is routine.

 Outside the hangar again, all is still quiet. Each bomber is swal- lowing its bellyful of death. A lip of the moon has edged over the horizon, its deep harvest yellow reflecting the sun, soon to follow it. Suddenly bomber engines sput- teringly shatter the silence. Purple blue tongues of flame shoot from their exhausts, now deeper, now lighter, as engines alternately race and idle to drive out early morning cold.

The bomber races down the runway, gathers its feet under it, scars up into the night.

sometimes difficult for them to re-

be adequately expressed.
