Field Artillery The field artillery 'ST ry definitely "ain't what it used to be" Standard field piece of dad's war was the 75 or three-inchthrowto maximum ranges of about 8000 ing 12- - to projectiles on steel-tire- d wheels with ammunition in an yards horse-draw- n accompanying caisson For heavier stuff there was the 155 (six-incaround piece usually a howitzer very slow and clumsy to Still heavier pieces were too sluggish for road transport get as a rule and (as a daring invention) rode the rails Now the 75s we had left over are used mainly on tank chassis or half-trac- k mounts as tank destroyers—and they're very good at it too The standard field piece is a howitzer throwing shells twice the weight of its predecessor's projectiles to conenderably greater ranges For heavier fire the 155 has grown a long barrel and hurls its 'shells to an extreme range of 18 miles And there's an eight-inc- h howitzer that can get around overland on the same d chunks of trouble if asked carriage and heavy Better Tanks New for all practical purposes are the tanks of today World war I tanks were essentially traveling machine gun nests monsters are armored artillery with incidental machine guns today's True e some of the tanks carried cannon but they were not very successful But a tank without a cannon-calibweapon today is an anachronism Despite their much thicker armor the new tanks move many times faster than the old ever could The first tanks could lumber at just about a good fast walking pace they were intended along to be followed closely by infantry 'to exploit the they made And the planes! What kind of description can gains do justice to the revolution that has taken place in them between the two World wars—and even since the second World war began? The fighter plane now carries from six to 12 machine guns and the machine gun is rapidly giving way to the 50s caliber' in all American planes Cannon are commonplace and may before long drive out the machine gun New powers and speeds in planes have suggested new uses: Dive bombing torpedo carrying bombs up to four tons—and bigger In sight whole platoons or parachutists in one huge transport whole companies sliding down in towed glider fleets Communications in the last war wcre a nightmare Telephone strung over the groundto one-ma- n n - ' ti -- 1' ' ' ' : ' u4 s plenty Toug h I:11:y a 0 7 ch t G TE --- - Clean 4 : in tr' ii t IJ '1'"' 4 :' r" -- i 4 kr ' i t V ' : t 4 - ) VI" - Aitt N41 IA s- i: ' '- e 1 : gin g---- ' - - sI N " - f ' 3 -- - --:- IRS ail was DUZ lu ee ve I tea those42n nit 4" ' I 'it t't2' - - ' h-- t aA T 4e 4 4'4 - r0! f:4 r:43$0c rtre:r gervi- :64ta-1- ized - ''''MMIT7441444 '1 " ''' - - j' - ' '' :':- m '''11 - il:)----- 0 - - n c J4 v -- ' - " I - orth i be tlr-- : :- IA the foundation e ea f legislative pro tt'on - Re': : 1 s ''' tre- to 4 - i ' t C) ma wit ' " ' " 4 sA- - - t 1411 - - - 'f - -- ik-- k Aft I - :11- ' 0:---- imposen oritofLi)es1-e- drivine" by motorists 4 I 1 I al" ' 1 - - 77z- COrt r ' : - t " III 41 - 7i i :' 1 Ied L c Ns!
