WE HAVE THE `KNOW HOW' NOW
•'N141,L ••''''°'''''''it*kti.t1Z4: `4i
Green apprentices in amphibious warfare in the days of Gualalcanal and bloody Tarawa, Uncle
Sam's Pacific fighter's now have their master's degree—but they got it the hard way. Their "grad-
uation thesis" was the winning of almost impregnable Iwo Jima. Illustrated above the steps in
the invasion pattern that has now become classic: enemy air power grounded and planes knocked
out by weeks of aerial bombardment; the foe driven from beachheads. and under cover by pound-
ing shells and rockets from warships, which also aims to knock out shore batteries; the actual
landing, under covering fire; the battle to "secure" the objective; Seabees, on heels of invasion
forces, repair airfields for our use, bring in tons of supplies, set up mechanical and engineering
equipment; finally, the mopping up of last-ditch survivors.
REUNION IN SCHOONDYKO
Everybody's happy as Mr. and Mrs. Marten Zoonevylle welcome
to their home near Schoondyko, Holland, the granddaughter they
haven't seen since 1921. She is WAC Pfc. Neeltje Zoonevylle,
whose parents took her to Sodus, N. Y., when she was 16 months
old. She grew up there and now is serving with the USAAF 9th
Bombardment division.
FRIEND AND FOE FIND REFUGE
German prisoners and their American guards take cover 'beneath
tank destroyer as a hail of Nazi shells whistles over head, Pris.
otters were taken by 4th Division troops of tl.e U.S. Third Army
during advances across the Pruern Valley.
NON -BOUNCER
'United States fliers bombing rail-
ways in Burma found that often 'a
bomb would ricochet into the
jungle. The spike buries itself into
a railway tie and the bomb goes
off where it lands .
FIGHTING MEN MUST EAT
This First Canadian Army Duck is being loaded with compo ration for Canadian troops fighting in
the lowlands of Holland.
• ZERO HOUR . . . GERMANY
These men, members of a famous Canadian infantry regiment, somewhere on the German front,
wait in their slit trenches for the order to attack. The Nazis are just up forward of this position.
CORNY PICTURE
Nature was almost too bountiful out in central Nebraska, where there was such a bumper corn
crop that storing and preserving it is a critical problem. In photo above, 24,000 bushels lie on the
gound outside an elevator, at Shelton, Neb. Elevator is full and has a heavy backlog.
DON'T BE AN ABSENTEE
