Many a wounded or ill soldier owes his recovery to the newly -
revealed Army "secret weapon" pictured above. It is a revolu-
tionary surgical camera, with a built-in light source—a quartz
vapor tube flash unit that produces up to 50,000 flashes more bril-
liant than sunlight at 1/25,00th of a second duration. Developed
by the Signal Corps, the camera uses 35 -mm, film, weighs 534

Here's the :New `Reconverted' B-29!
Obsolete materials and parts, once used in making B-29 Superfortresses at the Bell Aircraft Corpor-
ation's Marietta, Ga., plant, had been sold to salvage firms in carload lots. But, believing that Bell em-
ployees could make good use. of the discarded materials, the firm recently opened a retail Salvage
Sales. Store. Now workers Jlock in to buy the "junk," • Photos below show- some of the many
practical uses to which they put it. Their ingenuity and skill produced scores-• of scarce household
items. The Occupational Therapy section of Atlanta's Lawson General Hospital uses a good deal
of B-29 salvage. Convalescing veterans find relaxa tion and learn new skills in designing and making
useful objects which they can send home..
A transparent "blister" canopy from, a B-29 •makes a fine bathtub for little Jean Clair Bretherick, pic-
tured' with, her mother, Mrs. Homer I. Bretherick, in their Atlanta, Ga., home. Inset shows a weather-
proof davenport built from salvaged B-29 parts, by William Davis, Bell Aircraft worker. It has duralu-
min frame and broad, plexiglass arms. Gf
Pvt. John B. Lemoine, Columbia,
S.C., displays hot plate he made
from B-29 scrap. Such work helps
his "comeback" in Lawson Gen-
eral Hospital.
"Don't fence me in," says chubby
Karen Sewell, but her daddy, Joe
Sewell, Bell Aircraft worker at
Marietta, Gs„ did—with salvaged
B 29 metal.
