Meanwhile, surface construction construc-tion meticulously camouflaged under Elsmore's direction was speeded, and by the spring of 1942 no less than 22 operational airdromes were In readiness. Elsmore's brilliant engineering feat was, however, somewhat frozen by the simple fact that no one sent him any airplanes to put on his shiny air strips. But if the Mindinai Air task Force was unable to operate as a tactical unit, it's value as an evacuation medium was unequalled. unequal-led. In every known type of transport aircraft, tons of hun dreds of personnel were moved through Mlndinao to Australia and Java, while Elsmore personally person-ally supervised the air dash General Douglas MacArthur and his staff made from Mlndinao to Darwin. Elsmore himself left Mlndinao on April 29th six days before the fall of Corregidor on the last airplane to leave Del Monte. Before being named to the Directorate Di-rectorate of Air Transport, where he relieved Troup Captain Harold Gatty of the famed Post-Gatty Post-Gatty round-the-world . .flying team, Elsmore was chief of staff to Brig. Gen. Kenneth Walker, then chief of the Fifth Bomber Command. With Air Transport playing an increasingly prominent role in knitting Australia into a solid fighting machine, Elsmore's com mand stretches over an area bigger than the continental United States while he is re sponsible, as well, for the ship ment of all air-borne war sup- piles to New Guinea. Since ' assuming his post in February, Elsmore has increased operations of air transports nearly one hundred percent, and expects even more marked gains in Southeast Pacific air trans port service as his maintenance and traffic program shift into high gear; A veteran of American airline organizations before volunteer ing for active service in 1940, Elsmore was a .pioneer mall fly er in Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. His executive officer is Major Gerald L. Cherymisin of Cuca-monga, Cuca-monga, California, himself a veteran vet-eran of the war against the Japanese. A former combat pilot for the Chinese air force, Chedymisin was in Java when American airmen were being evacuated to Australia. With Captain (then Master Sergetnt) Harry Hayes of San Antonio, Texts, it was Chery misin who repaired and flew a battered B-17 to safety in Aus tralia, bringing with him as passengers his wife and 18 Dutch, British and American women and children.
