One Gunner on Largest
Bomber Replaces Six
Defends Way for Accurate
Target Approximations
Way Back Home

The eagle-eyed aerial gunner, often
called the fightingest sharpshooting
man aboard our bombers aloft, has
been given an electronic brain. His
counterparts of World Wars i and
II probably never thought il would
come to this. But the pitifully
short combat life Of some OF our
World War ii gunners foretold II.
And, the era Of expecting gunners,
by themselves and unassisted by
modern systems science, TO lead
and track and shoot down an at
tacking fighter is now ancient ms
tory.
let bomber and supersonic jet hght-
ers forced a change in the weapons
systems of American aircraft A
coldly. calculating electronic brain
has not only lessened the number
OF gunners needed per plane, but
also has given a longer life ,ex-
pectancy to those that are needed.
During the years between the
two big wars the only change in a
bomber's defensive system was the
application of twin mounted ma
chine guns on a swivel and en-
closed in a glass turret to protect
the gunner against the elements.
Then came the second scrap. The
B.l7 flying fortress" and the B-24
both four-engine bombers-were
developed for what was then called
thigh altitude" bombing. The weap-
ons system on each of these planes
consisted of six gunnery positions
manned by six men firing the
heavier fifty caliber machine gun,
These crack shots took heavy
toll of Japanese Zeros and Nazl
Messerschmitt fighters. After all
they had the good eye and prac-
tice il took to knock down a 37O-
mile an hour fighter roaring in al
three o'clock high. Enemy fighters
dreaded them. gunned for them
In particular got so many that
in some position assignments these
stout defenders could expect to
live no more than 80 seconds in
combat.
The gunner in today's Air Force
Is a man trained to monitor an
electronic system, which increases
his effectiveness to the maximum
of present day science. Generally
his work is of higher. order. He
is not called on for the manual
skills by which his predecessors
defended the bomber's way. But
at will, he can take over manually

killing burst that will knock the
bandit" out of the sky.
There's just no escape for the
enemy pilot. No matter from which
direction he attacks, the automatic
turrets on American bombers will
relentlessly follow his every move
and deadly muzzles will glare
ominously until the mass Of elec-
tronic gear and wiring within the
small black electronic brain boxes
have figured out the proper mo-
ment to open fire with deadly eff
cheney.
1t all sounds so simple. But in
ARMA plants the electronically con-
trolled turrets are being assembled
with precision skill by men and
women who in turn have used
electronic computers to measure
the efficiency Of their product.
ARMA technical representatives
are stationed at every major
American airbsse whese B-52 wings
are located. They supervise and
instruct gunners and ground crews
in the operation, maintenance and
repair Of the life-saving defensive
systems. At least eighty per cent

NEW BREEDING PROGRAM
e. L. Gilbert, Kenton, Trys New
Production Registry Program

e. L. Gilbert, Kenton, Trys New
Production Registry Program
An observant farmer once re-
marked:
i've got registered cattle and
purebred hogs,
Hybrid chickens and certified
dogs,
In fact, it's plain for all to see,
That all I own, is better bred
than me-"
This calls attention to a new
farm breeding program called
production registry, being tried
by e. l.. Gilbert of near Kenton.
PR testing, to use the short name,
is a method of brood sow testing
that gives official recognition by
the Hampshire Swine Registry to
those brood sows which raise at
least s pigs to an official 56-day
weight of at least 275 lbs. All
pigs must be of good Hampshire
type and at least so percent of
the litter must be eligible for reg
istration.
The county agent, George Va
paa, will be visiting Mr.. Gilbert's
farm several times in the next
few weeks to certify the earmark-
ing (identification) and the weigh
ing of litters. Research work has
shown that time weight gains are
good index to the quality of
breeding stock. The sow which
can produce pigs that gain weight
quickly under good management
deserves special recognition.
Mr. Gilbert has been raising
hogs for number of years. He
started with the Yorkshire breed
near Sellersville, Pa, but finds
that the Delaware markets seem
to prefer a black hog, which is
why ne now grows Hampshires.
He has a. dozen sows and gifts
due to farrow soon. They have
been bred to either Gilbert's King
or Gilbert's Prince, which are out
of Lee and Cedar Point Farm
breeder stock.
Were shooting for consistent
production in our breeding pro-
gram,p says Mr.. Gilbert. Our
last market hogs produced 100
lbs. of gain on SO lbs. of feed,
and like broiler growers, we are
