DAYTON, Ohio i.-P1 — In one of
the world's largest rooms, a crew
of saboteurs is at work — trying
tc wreck the Air Force's niftiest
airplanes, including the new B-58
supersonic jet bomber.
Mut the Air Force knows all
about them: in fact, it pays them
well to dream up and apply ways
and means of wrecking aircraft
that cost the taxpayers millions of
dollars.
These saboteurs are on our side.
Their job is to subject whole air-
planes to a laboratory duplication
of the worst possible punishment
they might take in flight from a
toe potentially more dangerous j
than enemy cannon — the air t
through which planes fly.
The idea is to spot unknown or
previously undetected structural
weaknesses in a given aircraft —
so thai amends can be made betore j
aircraft of this type are put in ser-
vice ll such an aerodynamic Achi-
lles Heel is found in a replica of a
plane already in service, all planes
ol this type are immediately
grounded until the potential trouble
can be rectified.
