LONDON, Aug. 28-Brair
Center of the United States Ar
my Air Force, European Theater
of Operations, is a squat one
story building painted dull
metal green.
Somewhere in Britain" il
stands, flat-roofed and camou-
flaged alongside a meadow just
at that point where green foliage
marks a roadway.
A high wire fence surrounds
this secret outpost, and when
YOU turn from the roadway and
drive through the entrance with
Major General Carl Spaatz,
Commanding General of the Air
Force of this Western Front,
good tough American sergeants
look you over as they wave the
drab-colored staff car on into
the enclosure.
ORGANIZES DAY
BEFORE DRESSING
The ride through summer SUM-
soaked streets out into the Eng
lish countryside has been quite
until Air Force Headquarters is
reached. Then movement be-
comes fast The car jams to a
halt, the right rear door swings
open--and you try keeping
step with siim,r wiry,D 5i-year-
old Carl Spaatz.
1t can't be done because he has
the habit of quietly exploding
into action. His ADO, Major sly
Bartlett, former ace Hollywood
screenWriter, tells you that and
you believe him. During the mo-
ments of early morning rising
General Spa tz will loiter
around his room quietly chain
smoking and drinking a break
fast of black coffee and fruit
juice-when he can get it. Sud-
denly, with his mind organized
for the day, he starts dressing
with incredible speed.
AT headquarters, exit from the
staff car is across an enclosure
lined with jeeps, six-ton trucks
and Workmen. Down a long cor
ridor past doors marked ca,
File Section, Records, Staff La
vatory, then left past an erect
sergeant named Alfred Stouard
of Decatur, Mich, who guards
this. inner sanctum which is
Map Room and office for the
Commanding General of the
United States Army Air Force,
European Theater of Operations.
There's an easy informally
about the office. Great maps
line the room, young officers
place latest intelligence infor-
nation gathered during the past
"a hours from war fronts of the
world onto these detailed charts.
And as they do, high ranking
subordinates talk with the Gen
eral.

Slim, Wiry Gen. Carl Spaatz Exp|odes into Action
He's the Boss Birdman
of A. E.. F. in Europe

100, Germany's fastest fighter
plane, which has pushed air
/ fighting to the dizzy height of
10000 feet.
One observer officer has just
returned from an Raj front
line airdrome, and he relates the
sad little incident of speaking
ground-to-a with Spitfire
pilot and hearing him suddenly
say in half-voice, ~this is it, :"
as his ship plunges toward the
sea.
But you win war by facts, and
that battle we won because the
enemy lost seven to our two.
The General believes Amer
lean airplanes are good. When
the latest goes into action, flown
by American boys who have an
instructive feel for their own
ships, he believes the result will
be impressive.
First, however, Kelly and
Randolph-trained boys m u t
learn from veteran British pilots
the specialized warfare tactics
of this front the German
habits of evasion, half-roll
followed by a vertical dive, to
name one.
And the necessity to work as
a squadron and never follow a
German plane down to zero
level after hitting it unless
you've got a second ship from
your own squadron covering
from above. The tight V-forma-
ton looked good once but here
you fly in pairs during dog
fight and the second man has
the job of covering you.
Sometimes over the channel
it's not uncommon, as a result
of this technique, to see a single
line of eight planes chasing each
other in a great circle. Two Ger
mans, two British, two Germans,
two British, all firing ahead.
And it would be funny as Key
stone Kop comedy except the
man behind is not fooling.
But Carl SpaatZ is equipped
to see that American boys learn
well the grim lessons of western
front aerial warfare.
Born 1891, Barlville, Pa, APP
pointed to the United States
Military Academy June, 1910,
graduated 1914. entered aviation
1916-those are bare Statistics
of the man. During the last war
he was one Of the first Air Corps
officers overseas, with command
of the largest American Aviation
training school in France.
Holder of the Distinguished
Flying Cross, the Distinguished
Service Cross for combat fly
ing. he remained a service man
during the years of peace.
During those summer days of
1910, when the LuftWaffe was
trying to batter Britain's Royal
Air Force into submission by
throwing the full weight of their
air arm across the channel in
nonstop drives to wear down
the defense, Carl 'Tooey" Spaatz
and Frank Hunter, another u. S.
air observer, could be found
seated most any day high over
Dover on that plot of cliffland
known as "Hcll's Corner" They
watched carefully those daylight
battles between Spitfire and
Mcsscrschmitt.
Today they're together again.
One is the Major General of u.
S. Air Operations on this front,
the other is his Brigadier, charg-
ed with the efficient conduct Of
u. S. Fighter Command.

20 Worried Futhers-to-Be
Are Offered the Answer

husbands feel as I do that they
would like 10 lend intelligent as
sistance to their wives in caring for
the newcomer.
The letter writer, who asked that
his name not be used. went on to
say that he had been unable to
learn of any class or school for
prospective fathers.
A canvass of Washington facih-
ties along this prenatal prepara-
ton line reveals that although there
have been home nursing courses
given by the Red Gross for men
in the past. at present there are
none. Further, the Health De-
partment of the District. has no
such classes. The Instructive Wis.,
iting Nurses Society says they teach
the prospective father If he can be
found at home. but their teaching
is on an individual basis.
For the information of prospec-
tive or potential fathers. however,
Miss Caroline Thomson of the Dis
trict Red Cross Home Nursing Di-
vision, urges that they call Hobart
$500, Ex. 3. and enroll for a spe-
cial male class In infant care and
nursing. She said they would be
delighted to start one" If 20 or
more men sign up. At present
home nursing classes are for wom-
en- only, and the Red Cross does
not believe in mixing men and
women for the course.
