...lemon peel on the cocktail of filmdom--there is a Commando raid on a German airfield. Instead of cowboys, you have grim-faced soldiers dressed in black from head to foot; instead of wild western ponics and twirling six-shooters, you have tanks, motorcycles, hand grenades, sub-machine guns...
...tour came to seem very arranged, like a Hollywood tour for a Hollywood premiere. Most of the heroes were strange heroes to the towns they visited. The best known was Ensign Donald F. Mason, who radioed the "Sighted sub, sank same" message. None were as fixed in the public mind as earlier Heroes Eddie O'Hare, John D. Bulkeley, Hewitt T. Wheless (see cuts), who also had been toured and feted and cheered. There was little spontaneity about the receptions.

These fields (with Russia's) are the last big oil source for a vast strategic area in which the Japanese have already snatched the rest of the wells.

It will have a 125-foot wingspread, a huge payload, a 4,000-mile range. Parts and sub-assemblies (everything except the engines) will be made in existing Nash plants, put together in a great plant now abuilding in New Orleans...
