1t has always been Don Nelson's
habit to pack an enormous amount
Of work into his day. Even before
the war, he outraged the habits Of
government employees by arriving at
his -carpeted Office before $3.50
each morning. Chances were that
even before that he had talked shop
with guest over an early breakfast
at his Broadmoor apartment.
Once in the office, he sticks there
until $50 or at night, lunching
Con buttermilk and salad right at
his desk usually with business
guests.
Nelson's ability to get things done
is so great that before Americas
entry into the war it was seldom
necessary for him to take home a
brief case full of paper work. But
even then he packed his evenings
until the small morning hours see

His Office is built for getting things

Capt. Claire L. Chennault, United
States Army Air Corps, retired, wrote
a book in 1885, THE Role Of De-
fenSive Purusit." Following It's
teachings, the American volunteer
group guarding the lifeline Of lease

Chinese forces, has shot down more
than 100 Japanese planes surely, an

What Is it that has enabled the
Flying Tigers" to beat off wave

fighters, running up total OF 48
enemy craft blasted from the skies
in two days with unbelieveably small
losses? Part of it, of course, is the
natural ability of the pilots them
selves, perfect physical specimens
who have survived the most rigorous
flying training offered by any school
in the world. Add to that six months
of intensive study under the man
who perhaps knows more about jap

Noise Affects His Hearing.
Maj. Gen. John F. Curry, then
commandant at the tactical school,
characterized Capt. Chennault as q
fearless pilot, an able air leader
and one Of the outstanding author
tiles on pursuit aviation. He was
frequently consulted on pursuit ship
design and supervised many service
tests in the field. But the roar Of
the engines finally affected his
hearing. He was retired In 1887.
At that time, he may have thought
his flying career was over; actually
1t had not yet begun. Two Of his
flying companions, Its. Williamson
and w. G. Mcdonald, had gone to
China the year before to teach
pursuit tactics To the Chinese Air
Force. what there was Of 1t at the
