The way my wife does it is not to bring the ham

The ham is sliced in the kitchen by the sweet woman.

to starve air power, keeping

even below army trucks.
AS result, air power today
is mounting an offensive against
Germany with inadequate and
relatively mediocre means. It
is doing a magnificent job in
slowing down the German war
machine despite these handi-
caps. From the viewpoint Of
strategic air power. it would
be more logical to increase the
