Ground Troop Support \
The fifth is the close support Of
the ground troops. This was
achieved in Sicily with more sue.
cess than was fully realized at the
time. Some commanders Of the land
ing troops complained that there
were no fighter planes over them.
Later some Of these same com.
manders, when they advanced and
saw the wrecked armored cars.
tanks and other equipment strewn
along the roads, realized that the
enemy had been held back by
the attacks from the air.
In Sicily, meanwhile, troops were
dropped behind the lines, and this
contributed its share to the success
of the invasion. We know how well
airborne troops have operated in the
Pacific theater and in Burma. This
job is listed as sixth in air forces
tactical operations and includes car
rying Of paratroopers, running
shuttle of transports and towing
elders which land personnel and
equipment (the glider pilot fights
with the land forces since he can't
glide uphilD.
We now come to the last two func-
tons of an air force-less dramatic
but highly important - reconnais-
sance and the building of air bases.
In the Sicilian campaign, a mill
lion photographs a month were
made so that the commander Of
each landing unit had pictures Of
every place he had to go to with
his detectives plainly marked.
We know of the record time In
which bases have been destroyed,
captured and rea ctivated in the
Pacific theater of war. In New
Guinea, a base was taken, built,
manned and put into complete
operation hundred miles from the
nearest allied base, and well behind
the enemy lines.
Thus we see the scope Of air force
operations, how closely they are
knit into the operations Of the land
and sea forces; and how the allies
have achieved air supremacy in
Europe. But, because air forces are
so elastic, they can be massed sud-
denly and, therefore, actual COM
mand of the air is much harder to
maintain.

Triphibious Warfare

We will be able to understand the
invasion Of Europe much better 1t
we understand little more about
the two roles which the allied air
force has played in modern warfare
ever since we took a page from
Germany's book and learned what
it means to coordinate the efforts OF
pilot and bombardier with the foot
soldier and the sailor, especially In
what is now generally called "tri-
phibious" warfare.
First, it might be well to state
clearly the difference between the
tactical and strategic bombing. Stra-
tegic bombing is directed toward
the destruction of enemy strength at
a distance. Tactical bombing is de-
struction or interruption Of enemy
operations in or near the combat
area.
Because the valuable quality Of
air power is fexibility, the two roles
sometimes overlap, but in general,
the strategic effort Is long range
effort in terms of both time and
space-it requires the use Of long,
range bombers and fighters.
Tactical bombing Is the quick
answer to instant needs-it in
wolves lighter bombers and usually
does not require long range.
Strategic bombing is aimed, as we
have seen, at factories, at all in
stallations which contribute to the
enemy's war effort; railway lines,
junctures, military bases, rolling
stock and all means of transpor-
tation and communication.
The Final Phase
We are interested at present in
the final phase of the European war,
so it might be well to describe
the preliminary efforts before, and
the continued effort after, the as
sault on an enemy shore.

Then followed the days when the
Japs pushed the allies back from

which heretofore human beings
were not supposed to be able to fight.
Today, the allies have produced
the best jungle fighters in the world.
We are daily beating the Japs at
their own game.
And today, I was reminded OF
something else after another session
with another anonymous oldtimer,
of another time and place.
He told me some things about the
allied air force and ! recalled the

Rebuilding the front of the two
