':Ahead Of Schedule"
An AAF Report on the Irritation Cadet Program

Thanks to the young men Of America,
the AAF is Selling air supremacy in every
theatre, faster than We ever planned or
even dared to hope.
Thanks to youths eagerness to serve, the
AAF has grown in remarkably short
time from mere handful Of men into the
largest, most powerful air force in the world.
Thanks to the htnes: and slertness Of
these young men, they have learned their
job so quickly that we have been able to
throw our great airplsne production into
effective combat quicker than we believed
possible. Due to their daring and skill we
are destroying the enemy with less loss TO
our own forces than we anticipated.
All air crew men must have the irresistible
desire to ay, Every such flying man in the
AAF is there on his own initiative . in
response to our invitation TO hy and fight
with "The Greatest Team in the World"
Hundreds of thousands have thronged to
our Aviation Cadet Examining Boards in
response to this appeal. Thousands are
continuing to volunteer .. for active duty
-. and for the l7.yeat-old Air Corps
Enlisted Reserve.
Our gratitude to the young men Of
America, and to their parents, friends and
associates is uithoutbounds. We should

Since last July the Selective Service proc

men into active duty from civilian life
for air crew training. Also, further enroll
ment in the l7-year-old Air Corps En-
listed Reserve has been temporarily
suspended.
The future Of America depend, upon the
fitness Of our young men. All of the armed
services need young men who are physi-
oally 1T, mentally alert and we'll educated
for the exacting demands of modern war.
The AAF urges every man approaching

military age to prepare himself physically
and mentally for his possible contribution
to the defeat Of our enemies and for his
responsibilities in the postwar world.
We suggest, among other things, the phys.
ical training and other preparatory courses
Of the High School Victory Corps which
are recommended for the various armed
services, and the physical and pre-aviation
training given to CAP Cadets by the
nationwide organization of the Civil Air
Patrol, an auxiliary ofthe Army Air Forces.
The AAF current training program uill, Of
course, continue. All men now enrolled in the
Air Corps Enlisted Reserve uiIl start their

planned. And Ic uiIl soon dgdin take yot4ng
men Of II into the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve
Meanwhile, in recognition of the over
q whelming public support given the AAF,
we shall continue to report developments
so that when We invite further active
enrolment on our flying team, the nation
will be familiar with our activities and the
vital nature of our needs.

Pitchers
Dizzy Trout
Makes Mark

Washington, Aug. 1i-AP-With
about a third OF the season remain
, ing, three major league pitchers
could boast today that they have
won Is games apiece, and two OF
them do their twirling for the De-
troit Tigers.
Latest TO reach that mark was
Dizzy Trout, who turned in five
hitter last night as the Tigers
came from behind TO defeat Wash
ington 3 to in ten innings. De
troit moved into third place ahead
OF New York on the strength OF
its seventh straight victory.
Not to be outdone by Terminate
Hal Newhouser OF Tex Hughson OF
Boston, Trout pitched shutout ball
after giving UP three hits and the
only two Washington runs in the
first inning.
Johnny Niggeling, the Senators
ace hurler, likewise gave up only
five hits, but a walk, a hit-and-run
and long fly proved his downfall
in the tenth. The walk went to
Dick Wakefield, who smashed out
his fifth home run In the seventh.
The lanky outfielder went to third
on Pinky Higgins perfect hit-and'
run play, and came home when
Rudy York, returning as a pinch
hitter after suffering a pulled leg
muscle, lofted 4 long fly to left
field.
Trout scored the first Tiger run
in the third. After walking, he
went TO third on Roger Cramer's
double and scored on an infield
out.
The Senators got their two runs
without hitting the ball out OF the
infield. George Wyatt beat oat
a bunt and took second on Eddie
Mayo's wild throw. After Joe
Kuhel walked he and Wyatt ad-
vanced on a sacrlflce. Myatt SCOT
ed on Stan Spence's out and Ku-
hel crossed the plate on an infield
hit.
Billy Sullivan, who hunted In the
fifth, and Jake Powell, who singled
with two out in the eighth, were
the only Senators to touch Trout
after the first inning.

ABOARD A DESTROYER

ABOARD A DESTROfE Err IN
CENTRAL PACIFIC ms 1t
looked like Johnny Petty's number
was up.
Petty, aviation ordnance mate,
second class, had been walking
along the flight deck of carrier
with a buddy. The ship was part
of a navy task force and hundreds
OF miles from land. There was no
moon and no stars. The ships
were naturally running without
lights. Johnny took one step too
many in the blackness.
"My leg hit the forward edge Of
the flight deck" Johnny says, II
knew | was a goner and | let ont
yell.
Below him was the bullying plat
form that supported a battery Of
forty millimeter cannon, a nasty
landing place full Of steel-hard cor
ners and sharp edges. Thirty feet
farther down the equally murder
Gus PROV Of the ship knitted into a
gentle Pacific swell.
Johnny slid by death for the
first time that night when his
shoulder grazed the shield around
the gun mount. His twisting, turn
ing, fall ended when he hit the
water head first-a perfectly timed
dive,
He rolled and bumped along the
steel plates as the ship drove
ahead In a split second he would
be sucked under the hull and into
the churning screws. He felt the
pull already.
Johnny drew up his knees and
pushed nightly, as swimmer
makes racing turn at the end
Of a pool He dug in and was
safe from the dreadful suction. But
foaming combers in the wake of
the ship tumbled him under.
He came up and wiped the sting
from his eyes. The turbulence of
the wake boiled around his body.
He was sick from gulping salt
water.
The ship had vanished as
through curtain and Johnny had
time to think. He wondered how
the news would be broken to his
mother and worried about the
money he had lost gambling. He
swore at himself for having put
off buying that extra insurance.
Johnny figured his buddy would
have turned In the alarm and he
knew there we're ships all around
But just trying to find his own
hand in front OF his face made II
hopeless that they could spot him
Still, II was worth trying. He
knew he couldn't last long without
life preserver. He slipped off
his pants and knotted the legs. He
swooped them through the air and
caught enough in the water soaked
cloth to help him keep afloat. He
realized yelling would tire him out
SO he whistled through his teetf
as he exhaled.
Then Johnny saw a mirage, q
shape blacker than the night. n,
saw breakers curling from its bas'
and knew II was no mirage. i
