Engine School Helps Officers
Take Know-How To War Zones

BRAINARD FIELD, CoNN.-In North
Africa, Alaska, Sicily, England and the Pa
cihc-wherever Army, Navy and Marine air
forces are operating-more than | 200 officer
graduates of an engineering school run and
financed by United Aircraft are transmitting
the "know-how" of repair and maintenance
to the men in the field.
The Brainard Field training school opened
less than month after Pearl Harbor. United
Aircraft felt that because many of Americas
fighting planes would be powered with Pratt
Whitney engines or equipped with Ham
ilton Standard propellers, the company should
train engineering officers in modern engine
and propeller maintenance.
SO United Aircraft leased the largest han
gar at Brainard Field and converted it into
school capable of accommodating 800 student
officers. The faculty came from plants of Pratt
& Whitney and Hamilton Standard.
The course lasts eight weeks. Students may
enroll in either squadron engineering or base
overhaul, the former stressing problems of
front-line operation. In the course they learn
to tear down and assemble engines, and study
line maintenance.
The engines are Pratt & Whitney Wasps,
Twin Wasps and Double Wasps taken
directly from assembly lines
That is one of the big advantages of our
school," Furtonge H. Flynn, assistant service
manager of United Aircraft Service Corpor-
alton, said. THE equipment they work OF, is
the same as that which they will supervise
at the fighting fronts"
Graduates of the school 60 into the field to
become engineering officers of maintenance
and overhaul bases.

Equipment 7orpedoed
Service Men Garry On

EAST HARTFORD, CoNN.-Nazi subs
sent shipload of Hamilton Standard pro-
peller equipment to the bottom of the Atlantic
in February, 1912, but loss of tools and parts
did not faze service men who went to Africa

ers, fighters and transports, it was learned
from four men who have returned to the home
factory here.
The propeller servicemen were part of an
all-American industry repair team sent to the
Douglas-built and operated Base 19, deep in
Eritrea, 1900 feet above sea level.
The conveyed trip to the base was made
despite constant submarine threats At one
port, Lord Haw Haw warned the American
technicians to enjoy themselves because they
would not get much further. Three days later
their ships lodged torpedoes.
They arrived in Eritrea early in March
1912. But the Nazis had made good on part
of their threat. A shipload of Hamilton
Standard propeller maintenance equipment
and tools rested on the bottom of the ocean.
Not only were working conditions prmi-
tive, but living on the Erltrean base was no
bed of roses. 1t rains all summer there Dense

ers being torn apart by angry balloons.
Though they had nothing to work with but
few copies of service manuals and a scat
tering of pocket tools, the Hamilton Standard
men set to work Immediately to replace the
torpedoed equipment.
They utilized angle iron and scrap aban-
doned by the fleeing Italians, who once oper-
ated the field. With their own hands they
shaped wrenches, sings, pliers, twisting fix
tures, and the many other tools needed to
service modern propeller.
With rough tools and rule of thumb tests,
the men had to use their wits and lots of
elbow grease to service hundreds of propel-
lers. Laborious hand filing and sanding was
routine. Bent blades were Strengthened by
main strength. If they broke, the Hamilton
Standard men had some extra parts.
For months on end under the pressure OF
necessity, they managed to keep the blades
turning on ali the Fortresses, Warhawks,
Skytrains and Skytroopers, Liberators, Hud-
sons, Liberator Expresses and Lghtnings

Army Hospital Transport Planes
Save Lives Of Wounded in Sicily

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA - American wounded
in Sicily reached North African hospitals as
quickly as IL hours after they were hurt,
thanks to the Army's big Douglas and Cur
tiss flying transports. Army doctors said that
many lives were saved because soldiers re-
ceived adequate treatment before wound in
fections got a head start.

had proved their worth by flying $4,000 SOL
diers and marines to hospitals in the South
Pacific and many more thousands of soldiers
in North Africa, were credited with the saw

quest of Sicily.
Pratt & Whitney engines power all these

Boeing and Consolidated offered to provide
their specifications, blueprints and engineer
ing experience. Douglas, Vega, North Amer
lean and Ford agreed to build the big bombers
Today Boeing, Douglas and Vega are pool
ing their experience and resources to build
Fortresses in ever-increasing numbers. Con-
solidated Vultee, Ford, Douglas and North
American are rolling out Liberators.
Boeing and Consolidated, the original de-
signers, have the heavy responsibility of act
ing as clearing houses for all production
plans, design changes, and field service.
But all six companies in the pools are
sharing in overall teamwork. Time-saving de-
vices, production methods discovered in one
plant are quickly made available to all.
The conception and development of the big
bomber pools is an outstanding example of
the military-industrial cooperation which is
providing Allied armed forces with superla-
tive tools of war.
Liberators are powered with Pratt & Whit
ney engines. Both the Lberators and Fort
resses are equipped with Hamilton Standard
propellers.

the basket that decided the bat
tie. Price, incidentally, shared
scoring honors with Tom Brett
meyer. Both scored six points.
Bob Manning paced the losers
with 10 points.
In the second game, Captain
Johnny Raspet sank the field
goal that provided his Wacks
with a 1917 triumph over the
sticks. 1t was one of seven field
goals contributed by Raspet.
Harry Listenbee was high scorer
for the Sticks with six points.
The nightcap pitted Clarence
Schroeder's Trojans against Chef
Maikoskis Eagles and the latter
came out on top, 1914. Maikoski
spanked the winners with six
points. David Hufstedler garner
ed the same number for the Tro-
jams.
The teams will play again

hottest teams in the National
Hockey League, will attempt to
defrost one another in the cir
cults only contest tonight.
Boston leading the loop, is on
a four game winning streak and
will attempt to avenge the II
defeat suffered on Jan. 8, in
Montreal.
Montreal is also a ball of fire,
having won four out of its last
five issues and is only three
points behind the fourth-place
Chicago Blackhawks. A prime
factor in the Canadiens recent
success is the work of goalie
Paul Bibeault.
But the Bruins have the lead

Cowley. Second a week ago to
Toronto's Lorrne Carr, Cowley
picked up three goals and five
assists last week to raise his

CaI|ura Wins
Feather Title
Army Hos Finger
on New Champ

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. 10
Up - A lot of folks will tell
you today that Jackie Callura is
the new head man of the feath-
erweights-at least part of 'em
but the champ is really your
old Uncle Samuel.
There's no doubt that the lit
tie betting bull from Canada
climbed all over Pittsburgh
Jackie Wilson to take the Ma
tional Boxing Associations por-
ton of the 126-pound crown in
the Providence Arena last night,
but now he has to wait on your
old Uncle's say-so before he's
going to be able to find out what
he can do with it.
For, Uncle Sam already has
the finger on Wilson, who has
been guaranteed first shot at
Callura's crown, and he also has
his eagle eye on Willie Pep, the
WIllZL- DdIlS llOlil SOliilCSliSot,
who has the title blessing of the
New York State Athletic Com
mission.
Callura's victory last night,
before a sell-out crowd of $500
paid customers-largest turnout
hereabouts in a decade-also fits
into the load of beak- busting
surprise packages that have
been up this season.
The 25-year-old Canadian,
married and expecting to be-
come a papa before very long
not only won, but was the boss
of the show from start to finish
except for short stretch from
the third through the seventh
sessions, when he Pittsburgh Me-
gro outboxed him. The gross

was on the way to smashing all
existing Big Ten scoring records
today after drilling in 26 points
last night in Illinois 1854 Wet
DRY over Iowa.
1t was his best effort since
playing collegiate basketball and
gave him an average of %
points in his teams four Big
Ten victories-one of the hot
test sustained individual scoring
drives ever made by a confer
ence eager.
Phillips run on points looks
like this: 19-24-23-26-92. If
he averages only IL in his re-
naming eight games, he will
equal the all-time 12-game re-
cord of Illinois great sharp
shooter, Chuck Carney, who
doused the strings with 1873 in
1920. IL he maintains ~
point average from here on out,
his l2-game total will reach 244,
topping the 242 mark last year
of Wisconsin's Johnny Kotz in
Is contests.
That's something for Phillip
to think about until Feb. /, Hi

against Northwestern. Semester
examinations come up in the
meantime.
In other games last night,
Purdue was knocked from the
Big Ten unbeaten class by Min

clouds.
That goes for his own team,
too, although probably no Major
League club has suffered any
more than the Tigers from the
shift of manpower from the
diamond 10 Uncle Sans team.
ONeill conducted his first
press conference in his new ca
pacity as Tiger Boss yesterday.
He said the Tigers would have a
good team.
when say good, he
said, I'm making allowance
for the troubles all of us face.
No doubt, all of the clubs will
be below the peacetime stand
ards of the big leagues, but l
believe we'll produce a bal
anced race, with the Tigers
holding up their end.
Since we are all subject to
the same demands by the Army
and Navy, l see no reason to
sing the blues. y
O'Neill expressed faith in the
Tiger pitching staff, which will
include Tommy Bridges, Hal
Newhouser, Hal White, Virgil
Trucks, Dizzy Trout, and John
Corsica. AL Benton, keystone OF
the staff last year, is in the Ma
Wy.
He remarked that Stub Over
