pinch.gif "LIFE" 27 April 1942, page 44. "FLYING CADET BILL KELLY sits in his BT-13 North American training plane with a confusion of instruments in front of him. He is learning formation flying and his young face is turned back to look at the plane behind him., anxious to see that the aerial spacing is correct. This tense look lingers on the faces of the cadets as they learn formation flying. From the long looking backward, they go around with stiff necks." The article was titled: "SOLDIERS AT WORK: Tom Lea Catches Their Absorbed Expressions." This is one of three of Tom Lea's paintings that appeard in that issue of "LIFE" Magazine on 27 April 1942. pinch.gif Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California ([email protected])

:lol: "LIFE" 27 April 1942, Page 44. "PRIVATE WYLIE POTTER: No.1 man of Battery B of the 37th Field Artillery, is the man who fires the 75-mm. gun. His face is frozen in expectation now as he waits for the sudden concussion. Watching for his superior's command to "fire," he is pulling back the lanyard - a short rope with a red wooden handle. When he pulls it back about 3 inches more, the precussion hammer will be released. It will spring back against the li ttle round firing pin and the 18-projrctile will curve off toward the target." Art by Tom Leas of Texas in 1942.

thumbdown.gif "LIFE" 27 April 1942, Page 44. "STAFF SERGEANT RALPH H. HULSE has a rapt look on his face as he adjusts the precise machinery of a BT-13 trainer like the one Cadet Bill Kelly is flying (above left). The engine cowling if off and he is adjusting the hub of the variable pitch propeller. As sergeant mechanic and crew chief, Hulse is head mechanic in charge of a crew that services and maintains one airplane. He is the man responsible for seeing that the whole plane is in perfect condition before it is allowed to go up again."
