JAir Engineers
Get There First
By Robert McCormick
(WNU Feature--Through speciM arrange-
ment with Colher's Weekly,)
Aviation engineers in Italy are ap-
parently just good litq~e gremlins,
scooting hither and thither, building
airports where no airports should
ever be built, and building them just
at the time somebody needs them.
The men and equipment responsi.
ble for making the Salerno airdrome
a decisive factor in the Italian land-
ing were our aviation engineers, one
of the least publicized units of the
army air forces, yet one of the ba-
sic influences in every victory we've
won so far in the Mediterranean.
Aviation engineers, riding their
bulldozers, go right in amongst the
bullets, in~o the front lines, or ahead
of them. Their main jobs are to
build new airports in conquered ter-
ritory, as they did exceedingly well
in Tunisia, and to repair captured
airports, as they did so nobly in
Sicily.
The big boss of the Aviation En-
gineers is Brig. Gen. Stuart C. God-
frey, a wiry little person who looks,
acts and talks just the way you'd
like to think all our generals do.
General Godfrey describes himself
simply as "General Arnold's engi-
neer," but he is likely to end up the
most important engineer in modern
history. His title is Air Engineer,
Army Air Forces.
As a sample of how Godfrey's men
work, there is the story of how they
built five airports in three days near
Sbeitla, in North Africa.
Brig. Gem Donald Davison, en-
gineer commander in those parts,
was looking for one of his companies.
He started through a sector occu-
pied by an American armored divi-
sion. Officers stopped him, and
asked him if he knew he was in the
front lines, and headed right out into
no man's land, beyond even the
American's outer patrols.
'Damn Fools' Are Up Ahead.
Davison obviously did not know.
The surprise on his face would have
detonated a bomb. He asked the
boys if they'd seen anything of a
company of aviation engineers. The
answer was quick and positive.
"Yes, we have," said one of the
officers, "if you mean those damn
fools who wouldn't pay any attention
to us and took those big machines
out. We think they're about 10 or
15 miles down the road."
Finally Davlson found his engi-
neers. They had put in a few
defensive guns, had dug themselves
slit trenches, and were at work
bnilding an airfield right under the
Nazis' noses.
In three days~three days is ~
hours of work to the engineers~the
men built five serviceable fleMs and
moved north II0 miles to the area
aromld Le Ser, to grind out more
'dromes.
The five-in-three deal was the re-
sult of careful planning and fast
movement. The whole North African
battlefront had been looked over
from the air, and spots picked out
which seemed generally favorable
for landing fields. When it devel-
oped that a batch would be needed
specifically around Sbeitla, the en-
gineers again flew over the ground,
choosing more definite locations.
Then the engineer troops, with
their bulldozers and scrapers and
shovels and all the rest of their
equipment, went roaring overland,
marching day and night, and they
went so fast that tb~y paid no at-
tention to the fact thfft they had gone
clean through the front lines. Or if
they did notice it, they were too stub-
born to care.
Ti~eir ability to build airports just
one jump ahead of our combat air-
planes is one of the big reasons we
gave the Axis such a bouncing
around in North Africa as well as in
Sicily. By having airfields up front,
we kept our air support constant-
ly with--and ahead of--our troops.
Air Force Has to Be Near Front.
There could be no delays in bring-
ing up our airpower. The tactical
air force always had to get places
ahead of our troops, to blast down
enemy resistance before our troops
arrived. The strategic air force had
to reach deeper and deeper behind
the enemy lines, hacking at the
channels through which the enemy
brought up food, munitions and other
supplies. Both groups constantly had
to be as near the Nazis as they
could get.
This meant turning out airfields at
an amazing rate. It meant flatten-
ing out barren mountains, filling in
colossal mudholes, trying to hold
down expanses of drifting, destruc-
tive sand. It meant using fumbling
native labor, carrying special pee-
wee equipment and airborne engi-
neers hundreds of miles at a leap
by air, and working night and day
in bleak stretches of battlefields.
That's what the aviation engineers
~re up against. Yet they conjured
up airports so fast that the pilols
never knew, from day to day, where
they'd find one next.
One happy example concerned a
B-26 Marauder that had been taking
pot shols at Axis ships over the
Mediterranean. The plane was
caught in a storm, the crew got lost
over the mountains.
The pilot turned north, intend-
ing to crashland in the shallow wa-
ter on the north beach of Africa. He
got to the ocean, banked for his land.
ing, and started down.
Suddenly his copilot tapped him
on the Slloulder. He opened his eyes,
loqked where the copilot was point-
ing~and there below him stretched

Marines Move inAfter Record Bombardment
IT HAS always been our contention
that it is just as impossible for us
to sell Great Britain or any other
foreign country our games of base-
ball and football as
it would be to have
Great Britain sell
us cricket and rug-
by. It just can't be
done- and it's a
waste of time to
try it.

friend, Colonel Red
O'Hare, a former
West Point tackle,
now abroad in the
active zone, sends GrantlandRiee
me a column writ-
ten by a well-known Welsh sporting
writer on American football as it
looked to him. Here are just a few
brief selections:
"I noticed that in the two hours
time to play the game the ball was
in motion, only 14 minutes--

Mud Stops Jeep, but Not for Long
A jeep ambulance on Cape Gloucester, New Britain, Is pictured bogged
down while crossing a stream with a wounded marine. These Leather-
necks soon freed the jeep and it whisked their buddy to a first aid station.

"Altogether it was a colorful ad-
venture, but American Rugger must
be an acquired taste." (Like olives
or spinach?)
"They tackled fiercely and there
was a sigh of relief when it was
shown the runner or ball carrier
was still alive. The Welsh impres-
sion is that the numerous stoppages,
the crowding together of friend and
foe, do not lend themselves to speed,
excitement and to constructive en-
deavor. It was the lack of continued
speed, of unbroken motion, that left
its most depressing effect."
A Rather Fair Analysis
Many American football followers
will resent this slant. But as Bobby
Burns once said:
"Oh, wad some power the giftie

"To see ourselves as Ithers see
US."
Over in England, Scotland and
Wales they don't like American foot.
ball largely for the reason that after
two hours the ball is in motion or
the men are in motion only 14 min-
utes of the 120 minutes consumed.
No one can dispute this flaw or
weakness in our game, looking at
the show from one angle. Rugby
and soccer football have far more
continued action, Just as basketball
and hockey do.
But against this we can give you
the game of cricket. This isn't what
you would call the fastest or the
speediest game ever invented, not
even barring chess.
I recall years ago talking with
Red Donahue, who pitched for the
Phillies and for Cleveland in the
time of Nap Lajoie. Red also went
out for cricket in Philadelphm, then
the U. S. cricket hot spot.
Red abandoned cricket shortly aft-
er taking up the game and doing
quite well with it.
"Why did you happen to give up
cricket?" I asked Donahue one day.
"I'll tell you, Grant," he said,
"why I decided to abandon this very
estimable competition.
"We had been playing two days in
this match against English invad-
ers and I asked how things stood.
They told me we were now playing
the second inning. I promptly re-
tired. I wasn't busy but I never
had time to give a week to one
game, including time out for tea."
So you can see how it works both
ways. In many ways we don't like
the games they play, and they don't
like the games we play. Both are
either too fast or too slow, if not
too young or too old.
International Games
There are still certain internation-
al games played around a somewhat
battered and harassed planet. These
games include golf, tennis, boxing
and to a certain extent soccer foot-
ball and basketball. And of course
track and field, the basis ef all Olym-
pic sport.
Track and field are the world-wide
competitions where running and
jumping and heaving missiles go
back to the Cave Man era, requiring
no extensive complications.
For example, in goLf Ha~en and
Sarazen, beyond the United States,
have had some of their hottest
matches in England, Scotland,
France, Japan, Australia, India,
South Africa and South America.
Golf even outranges tennis in this
respect, although Davis Cup matches
almost circle the so-called globe.
Boxing? For over 20 years there
have been almost no good ring fight-
ers outside of the U. S., although

the many millions love and under-
stand--the games they will stick to
until Grand Old Geh¢rma is packed
with icebergs.
