Their l,200-horsepower Pratt & Whitney
Twin Wasps, however, may 60 on to take
second and then third crew through their
tours of duty before the engines are over
hauled and returned to action.
A fighter pilot would probably be relieved
after even fewer combat hours That means
the Double Wasp in Thunderbolt, Corsair
or Hellcat could serve several pilots before
major overhaul.
The same dependability and long engine
life is contributing vitality to the work done
by the air transport services supplying the
fighting fronts, Mr.. Gwinn said.
This increased dependability has most i'm
portant bearing on commercial airline oper-
alton, he pointed out. Under Civil Aeronau-
tics Authority regulations domestic airlnes
in l94l were permitted to operate their Pratt
& Whitney Twin Wasps a maximum of $50
hours between major overhaus 1t has now
been possible to raise this to $50 hours, which
has helped the airlnes to handle the swollen
volume of traffic with reduced fleets. In Mex
leo, Cla Mexicana de Aviacion, part of the
Pan American Airways System, is regularly
flying Twin Wasps for 1000 hours between
major overhauls

CAMP MACKALL, N. C.-Full scale
vertical development" by a division of
10000 troops was tested in pre-invasion ma
neuvers on the sandy North Carolina coun-
tryslde last month.
AT the home field of the invasion forces,
I'll twin-engined C-53 Douglas Skytroopers
and more than 200 fifteen-placc gliders were
lined up almost as far as the eye could see,
The fleet included more of the huge trans
ports than are now serving the commercial
aIrlines of this country.
AS darkness approached, Az mighty Pratt
4 Whitney Twin Wasps spun their Hamil-
ton Standard propellers into action and the
planes moved off one by one At 1000 PM,
1000 paratroopers landed near their obiec-
tives. An hour and a half after Major Gem
eral Joseph M. Swing, commanding the
Blue Army, landed with his staff by glider,
headquarters was set up and he was starting
the paratroopers on their mission to seize
the most important of three satellite airhelds
IN the maneuvers region. At 3 80 AM, um-
plres ruled that the airheld was in the at
tackers' hands.
Nearly 5000 troops with jeeps, other ve-
hlcles and weapons including light artillery
were parachuted from the Douglas transports
or carried down by the gliders they towed
during that moonlight night But the big
planes had only begun their job. Their Twin
Wasps droned on as they picked tip additional
airbornc infantry to be landed later at cap
tured arhelds as reinforcements. Then the
planes undertook the problem of supplying
the division with the 10000 tons of food,
ammunition, fuel and other supplies it needed
for the next three days Of attacking maneu-
vers. On each return trip they simulated
carrying the wounded back to base hospitals.

ing. The fellows made a circle, as
is their custom. and sang their
