INVASION:

the big second front.
Britain's Air Chief Marshal Ar

Ramsay as the leader Of naval
forces, and Britain's Air Marshal
Trafford Leigh-Mallory in charge of

AS the Allies supreme command

Biggest Year
LEND-LEASE:
Aid to Russia:

With many of its great industrial
cities RACED and natural resources
overrun, 31s billion dollars of lend
lease assistance bolstered Soviet
Russia in it's critical hours.
To the Russ, the U. S. has sent
nearly 1000 planes, $500 tanks, $780,
600 sub-machine guns, $50, 1000 trucks,
5000 jeeps, 225, 1000 field telephones,
and 10000 miles of field telephone
wire.
In addition, the U. S. has sent
100000 tons of steel, $4,000 tons
of non-ferrous metal, AGO. 1000 tons of
chemicals, 100000 tons of petroleum
products, and more than $4,000
metal cutting tools.
Besides sending wheat, flour,
meats, fats and oils, the U. S. also
has supplied 10000 tons of seeds to
Russ farmers.

RUSSIA:
Reds Advance

Delivering trip-hammer blows all
along the 800-mile Russian front,
Red armies surged forward again
in the south as Germany's harassed
high command shifted forces to
check the big push.
The Reds heavy blows in the
south fell as German resistance stiff
ened in the north around Vitebsk.
Quickly shifting the gravity of their
attack, the Russ struck on a no.
mile front in the south, first punch
ing hard at Zhitomir, then punching
still harder above that railway hub
at Koresten.
This winters Russian offensive
was real smuggling match, with each
side in the south primarily con-
cerned with exhausting the other.

u. S. NAVY:
~ Carriers

The u. S. finds itself well equipped
as naval operations throughout the
world quicken, with Uncle Sans
navy boasting of AZ aircraft carriers,
including sleek destroyer-escorts for
protecting conveys. The U. S. start
ed the war with seven.
Corsair and Hellcat fighter planes
taking off from the carriers decks
have increased their striking power,
and a deadly new dive bomber has
been put in service. During 1913,
the navy trained twice as many pi-
lots as in 1912, and three times as
many combat planes were sent to
the front.
During 1913, arming of merchant
ships was speeded, 1000 now being
QUILTED with weapons.
