" . become may be inferred from the recent announcement by the War Department that from Jan. 1, 1942 to July 1, 1943, the Army has accepted over 73,000 planes. has Further, recently released figures show that the monthly production of our manufacturers is approaching the mark of 7500 planes every 30 days. This means" a current production rate of about 90,000 planes a year with the trend upward despite shortages and other problems facing industry. During the first seven months of the year plane production reached the figure of 7000 per month, of which the Army is understood to be getting about 4500 planes. Assuming the ratio to be 45 to 25 as between the Army and the Navy planes, and without giving out military information, the total must be considerably over 100,000 since Pearl Harbor. Some experts calculate thatby the end of 1943 total . plane production will not be far off President Roosevelt's figure of 185,000. No matter what the actual figures are, no matter what the current rate of production, no matter whether we have 185,000 or 150,000 or 200,000 planes by the end of the year, there is a tremendous job to keep them in battle trim, to have all our transports in the air every hour possible, to maintain, repair and supply the great air fleet which the AAF now 'indubitably has at its disman-pow- . . Non-Met- al . er . posal. In another column of the Hiilfieider is an interesting conclusions reached by article showing the That air power dominatto wit: United States News, the ing Europe's skies will save tens of thousands of our soldier's lives by making the final price of victory more tolerable. Strategic bombing, say the experts, lessens the required number of men needed to carry out a successful military operation, and will considerably reduce the long list of killed, wounded and missing. This all has the utmost significance for everyone at Hill Field. Soldier or civilian, each has a part to do in this technological war. Every day that a plane is tied jap, every hour lost in repairing, maintaining, or supplying of our combat, transport, bombing or observation planes, means delaying the time when our final terms of "unconditional surrender" have been forced upon our enemy and this country can return to its normal peacetime 1 th I well-studi- ed . pursuits. Let's do our job now and do it well! War Dogs Valuable Ally that Hill Field has its quota of war dogs, do guard duty, it might be interesting to brought, here to note that we are yet far behind both Germany and Japan in availing ourselves of the use of this valuable ally. The Army now has 4800 trained dogs for which $3,595,788 has been appropriated to feed them. The war dogs have proved so necessary that the War Department has gradually raised the number wanted from 200 to many thousands, based on their performance both at home and abroad with the Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guards, and with this increase the cost of feeding will go even higher. The Army training includes dogs for sentry duty, as messengers, for plant protection, and casualty dogs to locate the wounded. Germany used dogs extensively in the last war, and since then had been building up her dog army unhampered by the Versailles treaty until she had 50,000 trained dogs on duty when the war started. Later the nazis gave Japan 10,000 trained dogs, and they have been using them in their China, Burma, and jTeicjiic campaigns. Now . . Mrs. Jennie Proud as Punch B. Collins, house mother of civilian barracks 527, is proudly displaying flowers from her garden at the entrance to the building. A baby rambler rose bush has produced five buds on one stem, while petunias, larkspur, zinnias, and other blossoms add to the loveliness of the garden. One beautiful bouquet was sent to the editorial office of the Hiilfieider. Thank you, Mrs. Collins! ON EAGLES WINGS I soar on wings of eagles As I speed across the sky! The things of earth recede so fast As I climb to points on high. I feel no breeze and hear no sound Except the motors roar I really want to lick the world And then come back for more! There's such a wondrous beauty In God's Universe above: The stars prove a Creators might And the earth is filled with love. Or, that is what it ought to be to meet it's rightful fate But man has been so full of greed it now is ruled with bate. Nation strives with nation And kill for paltry plunder Until the gods send on the storms With lightning and with thunder. Millions of marching men go by witn one mad aim in mind To maim and kill and seek control Of the bulk of humanklad. Thank there is one nation That stems the tide of hat- eThat fights to save all of mankind From a savage, deadening fate. One nation, out of all the rest, That looks to a glad, new day.
