Teamwork Keynote of Anti-Aircraft Artillery Success , In few branches of our armed services are teamwork and co-ordination more important than in the anti aircraft artillery. Pictures shown here were taken during maneuvers at Camp Davis, N. C. Upper left: When the alert sounds, anti-aircraft crews must reach their stations in seconds. Dress is of slight importance, but they must have their rifles, cartridge belts, gas masks and helmets. They race to their posts.

Lower left: Captain Rousseau peers through a slit in the battery commander’s underground station to check on the operations of the crew.

Chicago Cubs’ Mascot to Be Goat It’s a goat instead of a bear that Manager Jimmie Wilson of the Chi cago Cubs (left) will use for a mascot this spring, as his charges play exhibitions in and about their French Lick, Ind., training camp. Manager Jimmie Dykes of the White Sox (right) will have a similar talisman. The goats’ names are “Bunt” and “Homer.” Caution—Wrecked Plane Being Repaired Surprised? So were we to learn that the two seemingly peaceful rural scenes depicted above really masked the repair and restoration to service of a wrecked U. S. air force plane. Members of the service group at Greenville, S. C., are taught to rescue, salvage, and repair wrecked planes in a battle area subject to air and ground attack at any time. At top, plane is covered by a screen which blends it into the disguise and makes it unrecognizable from the air. The “farmhouse" and “silo" in the background actually are engineering installations. Below, a realistic touch is added to the camouflage installations of the service group by these cows. Their Majesties Pay Visit to Yanks 4 % I '* Their majesties, the king and queen of England, are shown passing a group of American soldiers who are busy playing cards at the American Red Cross club in Northampton, England.

S. planes blasted 19 buildings. Block-Buster This is a photo-diagram of the dreaded 4,000 pound super-block buster, made in the United States, and dropped on Germany in night and day raids by American fliers and RAF men. Approximately 2,200 pounds of the two-ton bomb are TNT and other secret explosives. The rest are shell and fuses. Dropped from a plane 20,000 feet up, the bomb strikes the ground at pulverizing 600-mile-an-hour speed.
