...Target: a Powerhouse. The landing on Arawe was General MacArthur's biggest show since the Japs were turned back from Australia's doorstep. But in the counterdrive on the enemy's Oceania domain it was not yet more than, an important nibble...
...Target: a Peninsula. As the General's ships took on the cargo of invasion, the General's planes droned over the sea. For a fortnight they had pounded the southwest end of the long (300 miles), thin (60 miles at the widest), scimitar-shaped, jungle-covered, volcano-studded island that was once a German colony, then an Australian mandate until captured by the Japs...
...Bari itself was an incidental target. The bombers which had somehow slipped through the screen of overwhelming Allied air superiority headed for the harbor, studded with ships of a newly arrived convoy. Two ammunition vessels blew up, setting their neighbors ablaze. From other bombed ships thick, pitch-black smoke began to wallow towards the blue sky. Here and there ack-ack guns barked angrily-too late...
...Eighth Air Force returned to Germany last week. Target: Emden's oft-bombed U-boat yards. As usual, the exact effects on the bomb target were unknown. But the effect on the Luftwaffe was terrific: some 500 Fortresses and Liberators shot down 117 German fighters; escorting U.S. fighters shot down 21 more. U.S. loss: 17 bombers, three fighters...
Hillier's analyzer, like the electron microscope, does its job by bombarding a substance with electrons. It has an electron "needle" of extremely fine focus. Hillier first lines up his minute target (such as the head or tail of a virus) by means of the microscope, then needles it with an electron stream of some 50,000 volts. This dislodges electrons from the atoms in the target. Since the energy required to dislodge them varies with the kind of atoms present, the loss of energy in the bombarding electrons after they pass through the substance indicates the nature...
