It is a common error to believe that the leaner the mixture the less the fuel used. Too lean a mixture inwastes fuel, causes vites valve trouble. Best fuel economy results from setting carburetor at a compromise between too lean a mixture for idling and a slightly rich mixture representing maximum power adjustment. This setting can only be determined by trial under This camouflaged soldier appears to be hunting wild boar. Actually he is trying to spot an "enemy" plane during maneuvers in Tennessee.

By chance I walked right into preparations for one of the greatest bombing missions in history. This was the vast raid on Schweinfurt. I saw our boys take off and I saw them return. The small world of a bomber base in England is organized with utter precision toward one end to get those planes off the ground, over the target and home. One mission follows another and everybody knows exactly what to do or is told. Outwardly it is calm, but in the background is always one brutal fact: some of our aircraft do not return. When the planes are out on- a dangerous mission, voices get shriller and men appear reluctant to abandon one another's company. Americans and the RAF share their secret skills but not their way of life. Our base is a piece of Americafood, equipment, Few English faces are seen and these are usually liaison officers. Everybody knew that the coming raid on Schweinfurt was to be something special, that there were some of the most important targets ever bombed anywhere. The Nazis are aware how vital ball bearings are to the war and the plants that make them had been tucked deep into the mountain folds of Bavaria. The Nazis knew Allied fighter planes could not carry enough gasoline to protect the invading bombers which would have to face Nazi fighter fire for hundreds of miles. But Fortresses have firepower to protect themselves and they have a bomb-sigto hit any target. Months ago their crews were handed nameless maps of the Schweinfurt targets to study. In English skies they practiced over and over again formations which would doom the factories. Restricted to Post. Finally the crews were briefed. But weather forced cancellation. So important was security on this raid, Colonel Harding restricted to the post every .man who attended the briefing, gave special orders that they were not to discuss it among themselves and cut off telephones. Colonel Harding gave the group final instructions. A West Pointer e from West Virginia, he has manner fistful of a a and eyes, quiet medals. The latest of these is a silver star for gallantry and achievement in leading bombing raids over enjemy territory. "Don't let the boys tell you they aren't scared on raids," Colonel Harding told me. "Nobody could be such a fool as not to be frightened when flak and fighters come at him. I've been scared plenty." I was assured by the boys that Harding's briefing technique was One thing the boys can't okay. stand, they told me, was what they called "drip." They know what they are fighting for. What they want to be told is why the target is so important, so that if they get hurt they can feel it's worth it. Mai. John Kidd of Cleveland led the group off the field. Three squad ron leaders seconded him. "Sweat ing it out" is the air force's inelegantly accurate phrase for the busi ness of waiting for the planes to return from a raid. The waiting is undramatic but very wearing. 'Happy to Be Alive.' Outwardly all went on as before after the bombers roared down the runway at the base. Another mission went out and returned. It was a milk run over Holland. Another After was briefed but canceled. many long hours, the Fortresses came back. The gleam of a major's oak leaf on a red fez perched at a rakish angle over a grinning Irish face was the herald. The wearer of the fez was Major Egan; his simple heartfelt greeting was: "I'm very happy to be alive. Then from all mouths tumbled out hell they stories of the had been through, beginning hours before the target was reached. All agreed that nothing like it in size, venom and duration was ever before experienced in aerial warfare. All around were fighters, Forts blowing up in flame, and the thunder of guns The Nazis arched without end. strings of blinding new rocket shells The Fortresses battled German fighters for Vk hours the longest engagement in the history of heavy bombings but they had gone over their target and got away. A measure of the raid was the vol ubility of the crews who made it Their talk lasted through their days of rest and was still going strong when I left the base. Crews are encouraged to talk, of course, not only to help get it out of their systems but to keep intelligence officers fully informed. What they say might help greatly in planning the next encoun ter with the Nazis. - wise-crack- 1 ) ,1 load. 2. Magneto timing is often responand uneconomsible for over-heatiical operation. Since the method of setting varies with the tractor, follow the instruction book closely. 3. Set spark plug and magneto point gaps to recommended clearance occasionally. Put in new plugs when electrodes become worn. 4. Check valve tappets two or three times a season. Improper clearance ruins more valves than all other causes put together. 5. Never shut off a tractor immediately after running at full load. Valve warping is often caused by not letting the engine idle a short time before stopping so that the valves may cool gradually. 6. Operate the tractor at full load as much of the time as possible. It costs nearly as much to operate a tractor at half load as it does at effull load.
