As Exhibit A, give you soldier whom
shall simply call Joe Joe is just about the
roughest, toughest fighting man that you
could hope to meet - if you take him at his
own estimate With his service cap cooked on
one side of his curly head, and his face
screwed up in what he imagines to be hard
boiled scowl, he loves to talk in blood-and-
CUTS detail about what he'll do to the Nazis
when he gets his crack at them. To hear him,
you would think that he was the ful6llment
of all the fears of folks back home about the
brutalizing effects of war.
But you should have seen him the day

haired, sparkling eyed four -year-old to whom
he and the rest of his outfit serve as ''uncles."
Joe trotted her on his knee He talked baby

Post Exchange to buy candy. He held her
on his lap at the movies and waved and
threw kisses when she finally had to leave.
And that was more than tip-off on Joe

The problem of conquering
Germany from the sky is today
no longer the relatively simple
one that certain aviation writ
ers figured even year ago.
Our failure to concentrate ade-
quate air power in 1912 and
1913 over Germany has given
the. Nazis the. chance to shield
their key targets with expanded
and improved defensive avia-
ton.
Our job has therefore be-
come vastly more difficult. II
is no longer largely a truck
ing problem-to bring the
necessary amount of explosives
to key detectives. The problem
now is nothing less than the
destruction of German-ai
power in order TO assume COM
mand of the skies and TO use
q freedom of navigation over
enemy territory for systematic
demolition of the sources Of
German military power.
