judging from the bidding, it
seemed that the only thing his
partner could have was the ace
of spades. The major figured that
il he could use his partners

be able TO defeat the hand.
Therefore he led the king of dia-

NEA Washington Correspond emit


WASHINGTON, d. C.-Every
trade has its tricks, and in gain
ing sumpremacy over the much
Wanted German LuftWaffe, u.
S. Army Air Force pilots have
thought up numerous shifts and
raZzle-dazzle formations which
are now in use east of the Rhine.
A few of these tactics on which
Army censorS will now permit
disclosure, are these:
Recently, Germans got hold of
a Flying Fortress which landed
safely in their territory without
pilot or sign of life. The plane,
was, however, loaded with
bombs and explosives. BY some
miracle it had not blown itself
up on hitting the ground as was
Intended. That crash landing
lifted the veil of secrecy on one
of the most novel employments
of war weary" planes yet to be
devised. Instead of being scrap
ped, these veterans of many
raids are filled with explosives,
taken aloft by their crews, who
set the automatic pilots to fly
the planes against German tar
gets, and then bail out.
The big FortreSses, like work
horses headed for the barn, do
the rest themselves, guided only
by the robot brain in the auto
matte pilot.
JUST LIKE SITTING DUCKS
One of the tactical tricks used
by u. S. Air Forces in knocking
out the German Luftwaffe has
been achieved through sending
along more fighters than are
actually needed to protect the
bombing missions. Ii 500 planes
are needed to protect the bomb
ers, 600 are sent. The extra 100
stay upstairs or lag behind I'M
til the German interceptor
planes make their passes at the
bombers. Then the extra 100
follow the Germans back to their
home bases, catch them as they
slowly land, or while they are
on the ground being refueled,
and destroy them by the thous-
and.
In fighter plane raids on rail-
roads and highways, similar
mass destruction tactics are en-
ployed. Instead of concentrate
ing on strafing individual trucks
and locomotives, Allied fighters
hold their fire until they create
blocks. Knocking out a truck
at a culvert causes the next
truck to slow up for detouring.
Catching that one and the next
one creates traffic jam, and
after that every truck that comes
along can be picked off.
Going after railroads, fighter
bombers drop bombs every half
mile along 100-mile stretches of
track. That creates real traffic
tie-ups which can easily be
knocked out. When work crews
come out to repair the mainlines,
the fighters Straf the work
crews. They cause lot of abb
senteeism thta way. Only Ger
man defense for such tactics is
to move up all supplies at night.
To date, no effective means Of
night low-altitude bombing and
strafing has been worked out.

TANKS, PLANES
COOPERATE

Close cooperation between
Air Forces and Army Ground
Forces in Europe, for securing
close air support on the battle
field, has been achieved by
creating "Fighter-Tank Teams"
The commanding officer of the
fighter planes, instead of riding
high in a fast pursuit ship, rides
in tank along with the armor-
ed forces commander. The COM
mand pilot is in radio commune
cation with his planes, and calls
in his fly boys to drop out of the
sky and attack where it will do
the most good.

ELDoN'S AIRPARK

To the planners of Americas postwar aviation
one of the most important towns in the country IS
Eldon, No. (pop $500. For Eidon is the site OF what
mioht be called the pilot plant Of future orPorks
The municipoIy financed EIdon orpork is due
to be completed in June During its construction de-
tailed records are being kept Of every step plan
nine site selection, property acquisition develop
ment and financing, actual construction costs, man.
ooenent arrangements, operating procedure and
maintenance costs, together with complete record
Of all revenue.
When this is done the Civil Aeronoutics Author
itv should have collected invaluable data to serve
as oude for other communities which are incIud-
ina oirporks in their postwar development programs
Airpork, incidentally is term chosen by the
Personal Aircraft Council Of the AeronoutcoI Cham
Der Of Commerce to designate landing fields for Pr-
vote oircroft as opposed to airport, station for
scheduled commercial croft.
Most small cities will not want oirports, which
would be as impractical as building elaborate bus
terminal for parking lot. But even few private
FLYERS would make an adequate, inexpensive orpork
desirable.
It is in the private field that authorities see the
future Of flying Most postwar discussion thus far has
been concerned with the International tongIe Of fu
ture commercial routes and regulations But the
mercio field has limited expansion possibilities. 1t
is estimated that Il 4O.possenger oiriners will carry
as many passengers across the Atlantic in year os
q ship the size Of the Queen Mary in the time.
As for private flying, the CAA and the ovation
industry reason thus: At the wars end there will be
900 naitos-troi pilots $50, 900 civilian pi
lots and students, and some 800, 900 men trained
by the armed forces in various branches Of ovation.
About 2 OOOO 600 persons have had war jobs in ovio
ton factories, and $50 900 high school students will
be taking oeronouticol courses.
These odd up to more than 5 OOO,O 600 potential
flyers They won't all fly Of course The fIvverpriced
plane isn't just around the corner and neither the
heIicopter.
Private oircroft, as bare Of accessories as the old
Model 7. will probably cost around $1,000 But even
if only one Of every four prospects actually becomes
q flyer, q tremendous market will be opened
The automobile in 30 years created millions Of
jobs and greatly expanded our whole economy But
it had to woit decade before construction Of good
highways permitted that expansion
If aviation is going to have comparable healthy
economic effect in the critical years just ahead it
cannot wot that long for adequate landing fields,
the counterpart Of good roads,
That is why construction Of the EIdon oirpork is
