trip with an empty ship. The troops and
supplies were carried in and the wounded
were evacuated by air on the way out"
That is heroic enough, but listen to
the story of the men of one TCC outfit
in the early stages of the North African
operations. Taking off from base some
where in Britain they flew paratroopers
over water $500 miles to Oran. Over
the Mediterranean enemy fighters spied
them. Ducking through clouds and
hedgehopping to evade enemy fire they
landed under fire at 160 miles per hour.
They lost the ship, but saved most of the
men.
Casablanca is a long way from Tunis,
but units of the Troop Carrier Command
fly from that West African port right up
to the most advanced airfelds. Here is
one example of the cooperation between
Air Force units. Far in the interior of
Africa was an airfield which, with some
repairs, might be put into shape for the

is crossed and the convoy drops down
the dusty roads into the ripening wheat
fields of Tunisia, evidently one of the
great wheat countries of the world.
Helmets, hitherto used as wash basins,
are put on. Crews man the machine
guns on the trucks. We enter the great
Sedjanine Valley and so on to an early
bivouac in an olive grove beside Roman
ruins just outside the evacuated town Of
Beja from which American headquarters
have just been moved. Thus ended the
first and longest continuous part of the
hitchhike.

STOUT FIELD, Ind.-"They would fly
barn door, if outboard motors were at
tached, take off in rainstorm, deliver
a payload to hen's front doorstep, thumb
their noses at the devil and take off for
another trip So, in picturesque Ian
guage, has an Army chaplain, stationed
in North Africa, described the men of the
1st Troop Carrier Command.
"They are the freight pushers and taxi
men Of the Air Corps. Their pilots are
not only good. They are marvellous.
They have strange ideas about such
things as weather reports. Jokingly
they say: Last years almanac is all we
need'"
From all over the world come reports
OF the job of air transport being done by
the intrepid men Of the Troop Carrier
Command. Gen. Fred S. Borum, their
handsome, alert chief, sits in his Office
here and grins. THE boys are doing all
right he says. He should know. He
has been through it himself.
Troop Carrier Command planes
transported $500 men with full equip
ment from Australia to Port Moresby
through Jap-infested skies across 900
miles of open sea. It took less than "a
