...smaller and smaller globes of the earth measured in terms of travel time over the past 100 years, from 150 days of circumnavigation in 1840 to eight days in 1940, from clipper to Clipper. Using the British Whitley bomber with its 700-mile range as typical of most medium bombers today, pictograph charts show that the raider theoretically can carry 6,250 lb. of bombs for a distance of 50 miles, but that it can carry only one 500-lb. bomb for a distance of 700 miles...
...half an hour before lunchtime when the first siren screamed; about noon practically the whole Mitchel air fleet was aloft: medium Martin bombers (with machine guns, but no bombs in their racks), mean-looking, olive-drab...
...five U.S. Armored Divisions are fast and tough, but they are going to be more so. Within the next fortnight, they will be provided with twice as many medium (30-ton) tanks as they now have, with self-propelled artillery and armored cars, which they never had before. Under the new setup, each Armored Division will have 232 mediums, 39 self-propelled 75-mm. howitzers, 27 self-propelled 37-mm. anti-tank guns. Light (13½-ton) tanks will no longer predominate...
Successful plays aren't often transformed into successful motion pictures without a somewhat drastic application of the "movie technique." An exception was "Night Must Fall," which three or four years ago was lifted almost bodily from the stage to the screen, and was equally effective in its new medium. Following closely in this tradition is "Ladies in Retirement," last year's number one Broadway mystery drama, and one of this season's first-rate cinema thrillers...
Because the new tank wastes no space, carries a lot of its weight in armor, it looks almost as small as a medium. Only 75s and 105s, loaded with armor-piercing -shells, would be effective against it. Although many a layman was skeptical of the new machine, figuring that few bridges would bear its weight, Army men knew that it could be utilized with devastating effect in open country. In action against other tanks, it is expected to have the power of battleship, the maneuverability of a destroyer...
