Aerial Evacuation

More than 100000 sick and wounded men of American and other Allied forces have been evacuated by the AAF from battle areas since August, 1942, accord ing to recent figures compiled by the Office of the Air Surgeon. More than 525, ,000, or 75 per cent of the total, were evacuated in 1914 from European fronts, with the 9th and 18th Air Forces transporting the majority of the evacuees. Despite the large number of critically wounded men evacuated from France, Italy, Burma and the Cen tral Pacific, the death rate has been very low-7 per 100000 patients trips. The number of patients evacuated by Air Transport Com mand from the theaters to the United States increased from 5000 to 3O,OO0 in 1914. Since D-Day the Air Evacuation Hospital at Mitchell Field has handled over 10000 pa tients evacuated from the European theater.

As trite as it may sound, we can't help re- marking that Ellen is five foot two with eyes of blue topped off by shade of red that has resulted in the nickname Sandy. As matter of fact (sue us if we're wrong, c. Wolf please note) we think Sandy holds claim to the title of being Bradley's only titian-tressed Wac. Sandy was tough Miss to interview, claiming no particular distnc- tions and stating that aside from attending school, including Dean Academy in Boston, she more or less lady of leisure be- fore adding her efforts toward winning the war. Her home town, she says, is West Columbia, s. C., and her postwar plans, al- though slightly hazy, include marriage, family, and maybe home somewhere in the North, South, East or maybe West. Her likes: basketball, tennis, dancing, movies and jeep driving.
