Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:32.593
Off we go
2
00:00:32.594 --> 00:00:35.380
into the wild sky yonder.
3
00:00:35.118 --> 00:00:38.715
Keep the wings level and true.
4
00:00:38.715 --> 00:00:42.666
If you'd live
to be a grey-haired wonder,
5
00:00:42.667 --> 00:00:46.347
keep the nose out of the blue!
6
00:00:46.348 --> 00:00:47.961
Flying men,
7
00:00:48.590 --> 00:00:50.371
guarding the nation's border,
8
00:00:50.372 --> 00:00:53.697
We'll be there, followed by more!
9
00:00:53.697 --> 00:00:57.542
In echelon, we carry on.
10
00:00:57.542 --> 00:01:01.410
Nothing'll stop the Army Air Force!
11
00:01:54.300 --> 00:01:55.201
Well, hello!
12
00:01:56.102 --> 00:01:58.881
Gee, looks like I'm back in the movies
again, doesn't it?
13
00:01:58.882 --> 00:02:01.590
Well, as a matter fact,
I like to do some talking.
14
00:02:03.874 --> 00:02:05.906
Don't go away
until I get this thing off.
15
00:02:11.375 --> 00:02:13.891
Now it isn't as if it was a chore
or me to talk to you
16
00:02:13.917 --> 00:02:16.272
because I want to speak
on my favorite subject:
17
00:02:16.528 --> 00:02:18.203
The Army Air Forces.
18
00:02:18.973 --> 00:02:21.596
I can't speak from long experience.
19
00:02:21.981 --> 00:02:23.537
I've only been in the service a year.
20
00:02:23.563 --> 00:02:26.576
But I've learned a lot about
what the Air Forces have to offer.
21
00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:29.768
That's what I wanna talk to you about.
22
00:02:30.140 --> 00:02:32.561
Right now, the greatest
mass mobilization
23
00:02:32.587 --> 00:02:35.780
in the history of the world
is taking place.
24
00:02:35.538 --> 00:02:40.551
Men from cities towns, farms,
married men, and single men.
25
00:02:40.649 --> 00:02:44.195
Brothers, sweethearts,
husbands, fathers, and sons.
26
00:02:44.196 --> 00:02:46.576
Businessmen
and workers from the factories.
27
00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:49.550
And students from colleges
and high schools all over America.
28
00:02:49.551 --> 00:02:51.592
They're mobilizing, joining up
29
00:02:51.756 --> 00:02:54.330
or having their numbers pulled out of a
fishbowl.
30
00:02:54.606 --> 00:02:56.841
And this war we're fighting today
31
00:02:56.842 --> 00:02:59.992
and tomorrow and the next day until
we win,
32
00:03:00.183 --> 00:03:02.281
is a war of the air.
33
00:03:02.611 --> 00:03:04.484
The whole world knows that.
34
00:03:04.485 --> 00:03:07.449
Our factories know that. So...
35
00:03:07.464 --> 00:03:09.324
interceptors, pursuit ships,
36
00:03:09.325 --> 00:03:12.378
light bombers, medium bombers
and Flying Fortresses
37
00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:14.279
are rolling out of those factories.
38
00:03:14.562 --> 00:03:18.560
65,000 fighting planes this year.
39
00:03:18.557 --> 00:03:20.935
A hundred thousand
fighting planes next year.
40
00:03:21.253 --> 00:03:23.327
And to keep 'em flying,
41
00:03:23.328 --> 00:03:24.857
two million men.
42
00:03:24.858 --> 00:03:27.690
Now, now that's where you come in.
43
00:03:27.698 --> 00:03:33.435
The Army Air Forces need
15,000 captains, 40,000 lieutenants.
44
00:03:33.571 --> 00:03:36.357
35,000 flying sergeants.
45
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.352
Well, how about it?
46
00:03:40.189 --> 00:03:41.887
Well, let's talk it over.
47
00:03:42.393 --> 00:03:44.269
Now make no mistake about this thing.
Fellas.
48
00:03:44.270 --> 00:03:46.310
We're all gonna be in this war soon.
49
00:03:46.311 --> 00:03:48.370
Sooner than a lot of you realize.
50
00:03:48.555 --> 00:03:51.729
And nearly all the officers
of this great Army Air Force
51
00:03:51.730 --> 00:03:53.587
that they're building today
52
00:03:53.588 --> 00:03:55.977
are gonna be drawn
from the ranks of you men.
53
00:03:56.382 --> 00:03:58.238
From high schools and colleges.
54
00:03:58.551 --> 00:04:01.806
Those who join as aviation cadets now.
55
00:04:01.807 --> 00:04:05.859
Uh, well now, before I go any
further are there any questions?
56
00:04:05.860 --> 00:04:07.493
Yeah, sure I got a question.
57
00:04:07.494 --> 00:04:08.689
Okay, shoot.
58
00:04:08.715 --> 00:04:09.839
Well I'd like to join up.
59
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:11.499
But I've got
about a year of college left.
60
00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:13.457
And I'd kinda like to get that diploma.
61
00:04:13.458 --> 00:04:14.863
Well, why not?
62
00:04:14.864 --> 00:04:17.857
The Air Forces want you
to get your diploma.
63
00:04:18.169 --> 00:04:21.180
Fellows like yourself
either in high school or college
64
00:04:21.190 --> 00:04:23.788
can enroll in the Air Force Reserve.
65
00:04:23.814 --> 00:04:27.104
Continue with your studies
and at the end of the term
66
00:04:27.157 --> 00:04:31.269
or when you get your diploma, you'll be
taken in as a regular cadet.
67
00:04:31.270 --> 00:04:32.834
If you pledge now.
68
00:04:33.900 --> 00:04:33.930
Well, thanks.
69
00:04:33.956 --> 00:04:35.263
Okay, don't mention it.
70
00:04:35.289 --> 00:04:36.907
Say, I'd like to make the Air Force.
71
00:04:36.908 --> 00:04:38.473
But I'm no brainstorm.
72
00:04:38.474 --> 00:04:40.375
My grades aren't exactly
what they should be.
73
00:04:40.376 --> 00:04:41.567
I hear it's tough to get in.
74
00:04:41.593 --> 00:04:42.679
Not anymore, it isn't.
75
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:47.599
And that blocked letter
you're sporting, that tells me a lot.
76
00:04:47.885 --> 00:04:50.820
Basketball, football, baseball.
77
00:04:50.821 --> 00:04:54.960
Or some activity where
coordination, control
78
00:04:54.970 --> 00:04:57.560
and the ability to work together
with the rest of the team that,
79
00:04:57.570 --> 00:04:58.644
that's important.
80
00:04:58.645 --> 00:05:01.731
The same in the Air Force.
They're one big team.
81
00:05:01.732 --> 00:05:05.220
And they need men who can
pull together and play the game.
82
00:05:05.221 --> 00:05:07.427
So, you and your teammates
should be a cinch
83
00:05:07.428 --> 00:05:10.422
in this, the biggest all-American team
we've ever had.
84
00:05:11.570 --> 00:05:12.937
Now here's a fellow who
works in a filling station.
85
00:05:12.938 --> 00:05:17.140
He looks as though he's got
something special on his mind.
86
00:05:17.798 --> 00:05:20.770
Say, uh, how about it, fella?
87
00:05:20.103 --> 00:05:22.784
You know, I've been interested
in the Air Forces for quite a while.
88
00:05:22.938 --> 00:05:25.324
But I'm 26 years old and I got a wife.
89
00:05:25.325 --> 00:05:27.153
Haven't had a chance for
too much education.
90
00:05:27.171 --> 00:05:28.272
What about me?
91
00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:29.422
Well, from where I'm standing,
92
00:05:29.423 --> 00:05:31.731
you look like you're ready
to sprout wings any minute.
93
00:05:31.732 --> 00:05:32.739
Hey, wait a minute.
94
00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:35.636
You see, formal education
is no longer a basis
95
00:05:35.637 --> 00:05:38.671
for determining a man's
intelligence in the Air Forces.
96
00:05:38.723 --> 00:05:40.160
And married or not,
97
00:05:40.170 --> 00:05:43.406
you'll receive seventy-five
dollars each month while training.
98
00:05:43.407 --> 00:05:46.877
And board and lodging and all the
necessary uniforms and equipment.
99
00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:50.700
And you have as much chance as
the next fellow of becoming one of those
100
00:05:50.950 --> 00:05:52.763
15,000 captains and
40,000 lieutenants or
101
00:05:52.789 --> 00:05:56.302
35,000 flying sergeants
I was telling you about.
102
00:05:57.110 --> 00:05:59.931
Yeah? Say, that sounds great.
103
00:05:59.932 --> 00:06:01.543
I think I'll go tell my wife.
104
00:06:01.569 --> 00:06:03.495
I'd like to get something
straight in my mind.
105
00:06:03.694 --> 00:06:06.266
I'm one of those high school students
you've been talking about.
106
00:06:06.267 --> 00:06:08.800
But I'm not old enough.
107
00:06:08.801 --> 00:06:11.349
I wasn't planning on
going to college so
108
00:06:11.375 --> 00:06:14.201
where does that leave me as far
as the Air Force is concerned?
109
00:06:14.202 --> 00:06:16.763
Funny, you sound like the forgotten man.
110
00:06:17.138 --> 00:06:19.164
But if you're close to eighteen.
111
00:06:19.172 --> 00:06:21.597
And you're over five feet in altitude,
112
00:06:21.598 --> 00:06:24.900
you can be one of us just as
quickly as anybody else.
113
00:06:24.901 --> 00:06:26.546
Okay!
114
00:06:26.547 --> 00:06:30.422
Just make out that application
for the Air Force Reserve.
115
00:06:30.541 --> 00:06:32.414
Now your physical examination.
116
00:06:32.525 --> 00:06:34.906
Well, that's not gonna be so tough.
117
00:06:35.173 --> 00:06:38.166
If you're an average guy
and normally healthy,
118
00:06:38.167 --> 00:06:40.208
you'll make the grade alright.
119
00:06:41.330 --> 00:06:44.367
So, one day you say good-bye
to mother and dad.
120
00:06:44.368 --> 00:06:46.953
And they're pretty proud and happy too.
121
00:06:47.104 --> 00:06:50.129
Especially dad.
His suspenders are about to bust.
122
00:06:50.130 --> 00:06:53.138
Yeah, you say good-by to sister Jane.
123
00:06:53.313 --> 00:06:55.300
And maybe Aunt Minnie.
124
00:06:55.290 --> 00:06:57.207
And oh yeah, Uncle Ben.
125
00:06:57.311 --> 00:06:59.798
And brother Joey.
126
00:07:03.332 --> 00:07:07.419
Those first few steps down the walk
are the beginning of a great adventure.
127
00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:10.151
Oh, uh, just wait. Wait a minute now.
128
00:07:11.501 --> 00:07:15.803
You aren't gonna forget that sweet
little bit of something next door.
129
00:07:20.750 --> 00:07:23.536
And you're on the train
with a lot of other fellas.
130
00:07:23.729 --> 00:07:26.444
Probably many
from your own school or a neighborhood.
131
00:07:26.445 --> 00:07:28.856
Oh yeah, I forgot to say.
132
00:07:28.882 --> 00:07:31.740
Uncle Sam bought your ticket.
133
00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:34.746
And your destination reads any one
of a number reception centers.
134
00:07:34.747 --> 00:07:37.420
Maybe in California.
Maybe down in Texas.
135
00:07:37.421 --> 00:07:39.421
It's here that lasting friendships
are made.
136
00:07:39.446 --> 00:07:43.468
Because you and your teammates
are aiming for the same goal.
137
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.801
That big, beautiful, wonderful "V"
138
00:07:46.802 --> 00:07:48.521
that spells Victory.
139
00:07:48.783 --> 00:07:50.598
And now it begins.
140
00:07:51.133 --> 00:07:54.394
Now, here's a sort
of a composite picture
141
00:07:54.395 --> 00:07:58.852
of what happens to you in the first few
weeks of your aviation cadet training.
142
00:07:59.184 --> 00:08:00.621
You find your room.
143
00:08:00.647 --> 00:08:02.594
Meet your roommate.
144
00:08:02.835 --> 00:08:05.175
Get a haircut, army style.
145
00:08:05.176 --> 00:08:07.534
And try on a new pair of shoes.
146
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.374
And a new uniform that really fits.
147
00:08:10.375 --> 00:08:14.130
And time to eat.
Those chops are on the fire.
148
00:08:14.131 --> 00:08:16.853
You eat with a few hundred
other guys just as hungry as you are.
149
00:08:16.854 --> 00:08:19.897
In ground school,
officers with years of experience
150
00:08:19.898 --> 00:08:23.425
patiently explain what makes 'em fly.
151
00:08:23.426 --> 00:08:26.210
And then one day, when class is over,
152
00:08:26.211 --> 00:08:30.109
you get all rigged out on what
the well-dressed birdman will wear.
153
00:08:30.110 --> 00:08:33.515
You feel like quite a guy
as you meet your flying instructor.
154
00:08:33.516 --> 00:08:35.675
But always in your memory
will be the thrill
155
00:08:35.676 --> 00:08:37.785
of that first beautiful morning
156
00:08:38.216 --> 00:08:40.469
when you took off for the first time.
157
00:08:41.351 --> 00:08:44.462
Now, uh, what you're gonna see next
158
00:08:44.463 --> 00:08:48.791
isn't considered exactly
part of the regular training course.
159
00:08:50.752 --> 00:08:53.594
But you're a chump if you don't
include it in your curriculum.
160
00:09:02.129 --> 00:09:05.977
And you find out the effect
those shiny little wings have on a gal.
161
00:09:06.510 --> 00:09:08.542
It's phenomenal!
162
00:09:19.643 --> 00:09:21.770
And now mister, take the air!
163
00:09:21.796 --> 00:09:22.889
And he did!
164
00:09:22.890 --> 00:09:24.917
Now, time has marched on.
165
00:09:25.270 --> 00:09:27.556
Here you are cruising along in a BT.
166
00:09:27.557 --> 00:09:29.642
That's basic trainer to you.
167
00:09:29.769 --> 00:09:33.245
And twisting your tail
into a few acrobatics and loops.
168
00:09:33.246 --> 00:09:35.849
And barrel rolls and snap rolls.
169
00:09:36.790 --> 00:09:38.186
That's some fun, eh?
170
00:09:38.212 --> 00:09:40.480
And a few more weeks roll by.
171
00:09:40.730 --> 00:09:42.167
You find yourself
in still another plane.
172
00:09:42.168 --> 00:09:44.410
And advanced trainer this time.
173
00:09:44.420 --> 00:09:47.740
Yes indeed, you're really
getting up in the world.
174
00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:49.970
At the rate
of nearly 200 miles an hour.
175
00:09:49.971 --> 00:09:53.151
But you think this is something,
well now, just wait.
176
00:09:53.152 --> 00:09:56.321
Fellas, shake hands with Mister B-17.
177
00:09:56.322 --> 00:09:58.228
And a few of his big brothers.
178
00:09:58.229 --> 00:10:00.166
Now, watch out now, he's tough.
179
00:10:00.205 --> 00:10:03.657
Those four motors roaring
through the sky like a thunderstorm.
180
00:10:03.658 --> 00:10:06.870
They can't fool with them.
181
00:10:09.188 --> 00:10:10.259
American workmen...
182
00:10:10.260 --> 00:10:12.634
The finest master mechanics
in the world...
183
00:10:12.635 --> 00:10:13.846
Put those motors together.
184
00:10:13.847 --> 00:10:17.245
Made 'em live, made 'em breathe,
made 'em roar.
185
00:10:17.246 --> 00:10:22.850
Yes, sir! A whole army of workmen,
designers, engineers and just plain guys
186
00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:23.846
who wanted to do something
for their country.
187
00:10:24.140 --> 00:10:26.767
They put that B-17 together.
188
00:10:26.854 --> 00:10:30.370
A few thousand of these babies
will win this war for us.
189
00:10:30.630 --> 00:10:33.397
And a few thousand guys
like you in there flying it.
190
00:10:33.582 --> 00:10:34.921
And remember.
191
00:10:34.922 --> 00:10:37.520
We said something about a team.
192
00:10:37.964 --> 00:10:40.242
Well, nine men are inside that plane.
193
00:10:40.268 --> 00:10:42.637
Each with an important job to do.
194
00:10:42.638 --> 00:10:44.590
So let's go and take a look around.
195
00:10:44.615 --> 00:10:46.658
Let's meet the team.
196
00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:49.983
Yes, sir, nine fellas like yourself
working together...
197
00:10:49.984 --> 00:10:52.985
As closely coordinated
as a precision watch.
198
00:10:53.214 --> 00:10:54.811
Now, let's get this straight.
199
00:10:55.359 --> 00:10:58.294
The pilot is not the most important
fella inside this plane.
200
00:10:58.295 --> 00:11:01.558
All nine members of this crew
are equally important.
201
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:02.685
For example,
202
00:11:02.686 --> 00:11:05.262
the pilot and the copilot
can take the plane off the ground
203
00:11:05.263 --> 00:11:06.430
and set it back down again.
204
00:11:06.431 --> 00:11:08.471
But where they be
without the navigator?
205
00:11:08.882 --> 00:11:10.461
Now, meet him.
206
00:11:10.630 --> 00:11:12.812
He's the gentleman sitting right there,
207
00:11:12.828 --> 00:11:15.365
with his pencils, his calculators.
208
00:11:15.638 --> 00:11:19.507
He's responsible for getting
the giant bomber to its destination
209
00:11:19.508 --> 00:11:20.810
and back again.
210
00:11:20.811 --> 00:11:22.379
Now, you might like his job.
211
00:11:22.525 --> 00:11:24.612
Now this fella's a second lieutenant.
212
00:11:24.613 --> 00:11:28.200
Draws 245 dollars each month.
213
00:11:28.187 --> 00:11:32.806
And although he was good at mathematics,
he didn't graduate from college.
214
00:11:33.900 --> 00:11:36.340
But he learned that the Air Forces
could use his talents.
215
00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:38.175
And now he is a necessary part
of the team.
216
00:11:38.369 --> 00:11:41.329
And now let's go up
into the nose of Mister B-17.
217
00:11:41.678 --> 00:11:44.995
And meet somebody who has
an important job in that department.
218
00:11:45.354 --> 00:11:47.605
This is the bombardier.
219
00:11:48.326 --> 00:11:49.856
The boy who doesn't miss.
220
00:11:50.251 --> 00:11:52.735
You see,
flying the plane is wasted motion
221
00:11:52.761 --> 00:11:55.488
unless this lad hits the target
on the noggin.
222
00:11:55.591 --> 00:11:58.321
The finest pilots in the Air Force
would be behind the eight ball
223
00:11:58.322 --> 00:12:00.407
if the bombardier
couldn't hit straight.
224
00:12:00.844 --> 00:12:03.217
And he's a full-fledged
commissioned officer too.
225
00:12:03.218 --> 00:12:04.872
Wears his wings.
226
00:12:04.873 --> 00:12:07.820
Draws the same pay
as the pilot and the copilot.
227
00:12:08.661 --> 00:12:12.186
Now back in the main body of the plane
we've got some more important positions.
228
00:12:12.419 --> 00:12:15.660
This fella is the number one engineer.
He keeps the motors turning.
229
00:12:15.661 --> 00:12:20.199
And the thousands of working parts all
thru the bomber inspected and in repair.
230
00:12:20.532 --> 00:12:22.485
And then comes the radio operator,
231
00:12:22.486 --> 00:12:25.754
who keeps the bomber in constant
communication with its home base.
232
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.912
And the photographer who keeps a
photographic record of what takes place
233
00:12:28.913 --> 00:12:31.616
on the earth below
while the bomber's on its mission.
234
00:12:32.850 --> 00:12:35.807
He's sort of an official scorekeeper
checking up for future reference.
235
00:12:36.125 --> 00:12:38.576
Now the remaining members
of the flight crew are
236
00:12:38.577 --> 00:12:41.729
number two engineer
and number two radio man.
237
00:12:42.140 --> 00:12:46.921
So you see, being in the Air Forces
isn't all piloting.
238
00:12:46.922 --> 00:12:49.604
Or all navigating or all bombardiering.
239
00:12:49.605 --> 00:12:51.159
It's teamwork.
240
00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:55.144
And each member of the team is
just as important as the next one.
241
00:12:55.145 --> 00:12:56.158
Now listen.
242
00:12:56.413 --> 00:13:00.119
It takes 38 men on the ground
to keep this bomber in the air.
243
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.135
So let's go downstairs
and meet the ground force.
244
00:13:06.112 --> 00:13:08.580
Jobs, why there's one to
fit every kind of fellow
245
00:13:08.606 --> 00:13:11.394
who wants to play
on this all-American team.
246
00:13:11.791 --> 00:13:14.203
Meet the armament officer.
247
00:13:14.204 --> 00:13:16.117
Now, he's in charge of 12 bombers,
248
00:13:16.118 --> 00:13:18.262
more or less like the ones
we just looked over.
249
00:13:18.263 --> 00:13:20.716
It's his job to see
hat the bombs are loaded
250
00:13:20.717 --> 00:13:21.900
and the machine-guns
251
00:13:21.901 --> 00:13:23.890
and a general all-around checkup.
252
00:13:23.891 --> 00:13:25.813
See that bar on his shoulders?
253
00:13:25.890 --> 00:13:29.120
He ranks just the same as
the pilot or the copilot
254
00:13:29.121 --> 00:13:31.637
or the navigator or the bombardier.
255
00:13:32.481 --> 00:13:33.921
And to get this fellow's commission,
256
00:13:33.928 --> 00:13:37.246
a little engineering or physics
in college would be a great help.
257
00:13:40.400 --> 00:13:43.404
And there's a fellow who's job
takes a backseat to nobody.
258
00:13:43.405 --> 00:13:45.159
The communications officer.
259
00:13:45.160 --> 00:13:47.686
Those bombing and fighting planes
up there,
260
00:13:47.687 --> 00:13:51.450
they depend on his work.
He's part of a team.
261
00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:54.810
And how does a fellow
get a sign like that on his door?
262
00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:58.738
Well, engineering officer Captain C.D.
Burns had three years of college.
263
00:13:58.739 --> 00:14:00.740
He studied aerodynamics.
264
00:14:00.741 --> 00:14:03.574
Those qualifications
quickly awarded him his commission.
265
00:14:03.575 --> 00:14:05.860
He's in charge
of all the mechanical details.
266
00:14:05.861 --> 00:14:09.274
And has a full crew of technically
trained enlisted men to supervise.
267
00:14:10.232 --> 00:14:12.478
Now, another opportunity for you
specialty-minded fellas
268
00:14:12.485 --> 00:14:14.779
is to be a meteorologist.
269
00:14:15.112 --> 00:14:17.289
If you do, you'll be assigned to a post
270
00:14:17.290 --> 00:14:20.684
where all military missions
will be guided by your reports.
271
00:14:20.685 --> 00:14:23.702
Yep, and you'll
get those gold bars alright.
272
00:14:23.703 --> 00:14:27.704
After thirty weeks free training
in some leading technological institute.
273
00:14:27.909 --> 00:14:29.548
Photographers and chemists.
274
00:14:29.572 --> 00:14:31.893
Now there's a spot
for you on the team
275
00:14:31.894 --> 00:14:34.911
in charge of one of the hundreds
of fixed or mobile
276
00:14:34.912 --> 00:14:38.200
photographic laboratories
the Air Force must have.
277
00:14:38.210 --> 00:14:40.879
Now this job too gets you
a commission as an officer.
278
00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:43.878
So whether you're flying a plane
as a pilot or a copilot,
279
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:45.275
charting its course as a navigator,
280
00:14:45.276 --> 00:14:47.470
acting as bombardier.
281
00:14:47.471 --> 00:14:51.600
Or in any one of the many technical
jobs in the air or on the ground.
282
00:14:51.601 --> 00:14:54.644
Wherever it is
in the United States Army Air Forces,
283
00:14:55.886 --> 00:14:57.579
you're part of a team.
284
00:14:58.616 --> 00:14:59.909
Now remember that.
285
00:15:03.287 --> 00:15:06.438
So listen to the roar of those motors,
you men of America.
286
00:15:06.464 --> 00:15:08.700
And heed their call.
287
00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:09.476
Soon the skies will be filled
288
00:15:09.477 --> 00:15:12.501
with the greatest air armada
the world has ever seen!
289
00:15:12.502 --> 00:15:14.871
Our own Army Air Forces.
290
00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:16.824
The best planes ever built!
291
00:15:16.850 --> 00:15:19.397
65,000 planes this year.
292
00:15:19.398 --> 00:15:22.215
100,000 more next year.
293
00:15:22.690 --> 00:15:24.953
That's why we'll lick the Axis.
294
00:15:24.954 --> 00:15:27.676
And that's how we'll lick the Axis.
295
00:15:28.250 --> 00:15:30.504
Your commission
in the Air Forces is waiting.
296
00:15:30.536 --> 00:15:33.760
You don't have to have
a diploma to become an officer.
297
00:15:33.203 --> 00:15:36.655
Join now
on the enlistment reserve basis.
298
00:15:36.681 --> 00:15:38.238
And then finish your present school or
299
00:15:38.239 --> 00:15:41.850
college term before your called upon
for actual duty.
300
00:15:41.308 --> 00:15:44.709
And if you're
between the ages of 18 and 26,
301
00:15:44.710 --> 00:15:46.438
with a good bill of health,
302
00:15:46.439 --> 00:15:50.506
you can make as high
as 245 dollars a month.
303
00:15:50.507 --> 00:15:54.278
With a bonus of 500 dollars for each
year of service in the Air Forces.
304
00:15:55.470 --> 00:16:00.321
Or if you become one of those
15,000 captains we need right away,
305
00:16:00.322 --> 00:16:05.524
you'll receive 430 dollars a month
while you serve your country.
306
00:16:05.944 --> 00:16:09.946
You'll be well trained for a good job
in civilian life when this war is won.
307
00:16:11.187 --> 00:16:12.805
Now, here's another thing.
308
00:16:12.806 --> 00:16:16.162
Now, it's kinda hard to explain but
believe you me it's important.
309
00:16:16.496 --> 00:16:21.111
While you're getting all this wonderful
technical training in the Air Forces,
310
00:16:21.905 --> 00:16:23.722
you'll learn about other things too.
311
00:16:24.160 --> 00:16:26.287
Things that are gonna pay off
in big dividends.
312
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:28.950
You're learning to be alert.
313
00:16:28.951 --> 00:16:30.401
You're learning how to handle men.
314
00:16:30.410 --> 00:16:32.694
And how to do that job
with a lot of pride.
315
00:16:33.657 --> 00:16:36.966
Yeah, you're learning about courage too.
316
00:16:37.652 --> 00:16:39.453
But you'll know what I mean.
And I hope soon.
317
00:16:39.454 --> 00:16:42.610
Because the Air Forces are proud
to think that you might be with them.
318
00:16:42.683 --> 00:16:44.278
And by the time
you finish your training,
319
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.905
America will have overwhelming
superiority in the air.
320
00:16:47.906 --> 00:16:50.703
You see, the way the Air Forces
feel about it,
321
00:16:50.916 --> 00:16:55.660
they're fighting and they're flying
for the safety of our people at home.
322
00:16:55.670 --> 00:16:57.794
Our mothers and fathers
and our sisters and brothers.
323
00:16:58.740 --> 00:16:59.701
And to keep
this terrible war of destruction
324
00:16:59.702 --> 00:17:02.483
that swept Poland
and Belgium and Holland.
325
00:17:02.484 --> 00:17:05.489
And blasted homes of good people
in London and Coventry.
326
00:17:05.490 --> 00:17:07.729
And maimed hundreds
of innocent women and children
327
00:17:07.730 --> 00:17:12.523
in Nanking and Burma
and Bataan Peninsula and Pearl Harbor.
328
00:17:12.690 --> 00:17:15.379
To keep that war from our own shores,
329
00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:17.398
our cities and our homes.
330
00:17:18.435 --> 00:17:21.673
The roar of a thousand motors
sing their song.
331
00:17:21.690 --> 00:17:25.119
And theirs is a song of freedom.
332
00:17:25.145 --> 00:17:28.515
Their wings outstretched
in the cause of decency.
333
00:17:28.776 --> 00:17:31.753
And each spinning prop
drones in vengeance
334
00:17:31.779 --> 00:17:34.801
against those
who would destroy our way of life.
335
00:17:36.350 --> 00:17:38.419
But somebody's gotta fly 'em.
336
00:17:39.318 --> 00:17:41.389
A lot of somebody's
have got to fly 'em.
337
00:17:41.517 --> 00:17:43.187
Now, this is your place.
338
00:17:43.365 --> 00:17:46.880
This is where
you'll serve America best.
339
00:17:46.811 --> 00:17:49.820
Young men of America,
your future's in the sky.
340
00:17:49.821 --> 00:17:51.726
Your wings are waiting.
