approaching saturation bombing
was almost forgotten. But, for
tunately, a forward observer
from the Signal Corps remem-
bered. He had one carrier pigeon.
He turned CT Joe loose.
The pigeon flew 20 miles in 20
minutes to the base where the
bombers were warming their en-
gines. The mission was Cancelled.
with only minutes to spare.
Combat usefulness, it is be-
ieved, diminishes at year old.
The birds tend to become set in
their ways and develop an aver
sion to changing homes. Monog-
amous, a pigeon pines when
separated from its mate.
Raised Fzosn Squads
/ HERE are other famed birds in
the Signal Corps cote, such as:
Jungle Joe" and Burma
Queen, who flew messages in the
China a-Burma-India theater;
Caesar, "whomade an epic fight
from Rome across the Mediter-
ranean to North Africa; Cap
tain Fulton" who bore the news
of the capture of Rommel's 10th
and 18th Panzer divisions -
beating telegraphic and radio re-
ports by over two hours.
Today, Meyer and his staff
work with their pigeons practi-
cally from the time they are
squads. Training flights 60 on
constantly, the distance being
gradually heightened up to 300
miles from Fort Monmouth.
Sometimes Meyer follows them
in airplanes in an effort to solve
the mystery of their built-in
autopilots. Curiously enough,
this stalking has revealed that
they often wander many miles
off course as they home.
Ice&Up Pigeons
MIGHT flying has been tried.
However, results have been poor. !,
Arctic tests have been more sue
cessful. They do ice up about
noses and beaks, but the birds
still are a lot better able to en-
dure sub freezing temperatures
than their keepers.
Meyer is disposed to agree
with the theory of DR.. Henry
Yeagley, associate professor of
physics. Pennsylvania State
College. 1t is the latter's belief
that the pigeons find direction by
the magnetic lines of the earth in
conjunction with the so-called
side-slip effect caused by the
turning of the earth. 1t is claimed
that a skinlike membrane, known
as the becten, attached to the
birds optic nerve and sensitive
to these global influences, is the
pigeons navigation instrument.
Statistics show that 80 per
cent of messages sent via pigeon
in the past war were delivered.
