Watch"
Mattern shifted a control. The
IL. foot. three-bladed propeller
on the right engine slowly halted.
Speed OF the plane still remained
faster than that of a japanese Zero.
They used to say these Light
nings couldn't fly on one motor,
Mattern yelled But we're flying
faster with one dead engine than
I flew in my first Is %ears Of stunt
inc and test plotting.
Mattern banked the plane verti-
cally. first to the left, then to the
right.
We're having lot of fun dis
+ pelling rumors, Mattern said.
There's a rumor around that bank
ing into a dead engine is certain
death. But look how easy it is to
pull out of it.
The plane settled back into level
flight. Mattern then duplicated
with one dead engine the maneuvers
he had demonstrated with the total
1900 horsepower OF the two Allison
liquid cooled engines. Finally the
1-ilOt brought the craft with its
dead engine to a smooth landing.

Field Ration K. This provides three
meals for one man, each in a separate box,
with total weight of 33 ounces, and

Field Ration K provides meat three times

1t provides coffee for breakfast, bouillon
cor dinner, and package of lemon juice
powder to make lemonade for supper.
