This link in the NATSC’s opera tions has been undertaken to speed the flow of strategic materials and important Naval personnel to Europe. The schedule is operated by Air Trans port Squadron One of the Atlantic Wing. This squadron, the first Naval Air Trans port Squadron to be organized, pioneered daily scheduled flights across the North and South Atlantic throughout the year. Giant four-engined R-5-D aircraft, popu larly known as Douglas Skymasters, will be used on these trans-Atlantic flights. Through cooperation with the Air Transport Com mand, junction schedules have been timed to make possible the routing of high pri ority passengers and mail without delay to points beyond Paris. Good Combat Record Operating on their own time. Navy Lib erator crews based in the Philippines have shot down more than 150 Japanese planes and destroyed more than 150,000 tons of shipping, the Navy Department reported last week. The primary mission of these big four- motored bombers, attached to Aircraft, Seventh Fleet, is to search and report ac tivities of the enemy. Pilots are briefed never to attack if, by so doing, they are un able to complete their search. Yet some of the Liberator pilots have been forced to engage Jap warplanes and attack enemy warships, while still cover ing their full search sectors. Some of the airmen have figured their gasoline con sumption so closely that they have returned to base with gasoline tanks virtually dry. Each Liberator flies a separate sector. Each is completely on its own from the minute of takeoff—a lone plane against whatever the enemy can put aloft in the way of flak and fighters. The sectors fan out over the Celebes, Borneo, China, French Indo-China, Formosa, almost to the home waters of Tokyo itself. If enemy planes attack a search Liberator in force, the pilot must choose between fighting and running away. If tropical fronts are encountered, the pilot must de cide whether to go through or around it. He can shoot down enemy planes and blast enemy ships to his heart’s content, but his. primary mission is search. As one pilot explained; “My crew could The Wolf by Sansone "Tell me more about Charlie McCarthy!" IM5 hr U»Mr< AtfnUrW hf Ctmp Smkt "He's tryin' to forget a woman—me! ‘ sink a whole Jap task force, but if iwy plane got hit during the attack and we had to head for home without finishing our search, we’d be heels instead of heroes.” ^ »> Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, USN, Con^' mander-in-Chief, U. S. Fleet, and Chief of Naval Operations; “We have heard mucl^ of things being ahead of schedule in the Pacific. Actually, we have had no schedule^ except to go as far and as fast as the means in hand would permit. It can be said tha^ the war today is ahead of our expectation® of last year.” Success is getting what you want; happi' ness is wanting what you get.
