It is the unseen network of radio
communications and navigational
aids operated by the Army Air-
ways Communications System that
makes possible the take-off of a
military plane every 15 minutes for
a flight across the Pacific and ev-
ery 13 minutes for Europe.
These devices protect the routes
over which 800,000 wounded and
sick and 560,000 tons of cargo, mail
and passengers were flown last
year.
