NAVY URGES ITS
AERIAL CUNNERS
SH DOT TO HIT.

Washington, CUP) The oldest
living gunner, wherever he is, did
not get that way by chance, nor by
luck, nor by picking his targets.
He studied all types of aircraft
until he COULD tell whether they
were friends or foe at any speed,
| angle or distance; he learned all
about his guns and how to keep
them shooting; he learned all there
is to know about tracer bullets, and
| then he practiced. And practiced
some more.
This knowledge, according to the
Navy in brochure titled "Gunnery
Sense" is what made him the old
est living gunner.
A passing acquaintance with the
mechanics of air fighting is not
enough, the pamphlet warns. Jap
anese flyers who oppose our gun
ners in grim life and death combat
are not interested in whether
American gunners have just man
aged to pass the course. In fact,
they hope that passing grades be-
come more common than they are;
that sort of pilot is more easily shot
down.
The thing for American pilots
| to know is how to put the right
amount of lead in the right place
at the right time. and that fire.
quently means putting lead into
what is vacant, blue sky at the mo-
ment the gunner lets go.
One thing gunners learn early Is
that it doesn't pay to spray. Avia-
tors who think it's good idea to
| shoot bullets from gun like water
from hose, hoping one OF them
will down plane, are almost IN
variably off the beam. Enemy
planes have a bad habit of coming
| through this sort of barrage with
| out being struck a single time. And
guners know too well that the
number of bullets plane can carry
| is limited; the capacity load Is
enough for only a few seconds OF
continuous fire.
It's not good enough to shoot.
You must shoot and hit. That
means waiting until the target gets
within range. Advice to the pilot
at this place in the pamphlet is in
capital letters, to wit: THEN GIVE
1T TO HIM.
Above all else, the Navy believes
that the man who said that prac-
tees makes perfect said very copl-
Gus mouthful. Practice Is what
makes an aerial gunner crack ae-
rial gunner, and that's where his
span of life comes in.
The wives that gunners left be-
hind them know all about the care
and feeding of infants. Similarly,
gunners who expect to see those in
fants again had better learn that
most important trick is the proper
care and feeding OF machine guns.
Concert pianists take care OF
their pianos, and all sportsmen know
that Warren Wright pampers Will
away.
Aerial gunners are therefore adj
vised to take the hint. They must,
after all these years, know that grit
counts. But not In guns, except that
it counts against the gunner.
