'L5l:AIRCHILD The Touch of Tomorrow in lhe Planes of Today Fairchild engineers look upon airplanes and airplane engines as 'tools for the achievement of specific and frequently differ- ent flight tasks. Men fly to perform a number of different jobs. Some fly to learn the a1'11 of flightg others fly to learn the science of attack and defenseg still others fly to carry goods and persons to far places. Ever since the first Fairchild was built, Fairchild engineers have designed and constructed aircraft to do specwc jobs well. This was true of the world's first photographic airplane-true of the Army's first cargo carrier. It is true of the PT-19 Cornell in which thousands of American combat pilots have fledged their wingsg true of the AT-21A Gunner, a twin-engined plane with a Duramolded skin of plastic-bonded plywoodg and true of the UC-61 Forwarder, the dependable little shuttle plane that operates just behind the lines on many a Hghting front. This' facility for building aircraft for top performance at specyfic jobs characterizes, too, the design for Fairchild's new and unique cargo plane scheduled for production this year. Fairchild Ranger engines-six and twelve cylinders-are the only inverted, in-line, air-cooled aircraft engines produced in America today. Each is designed for a specific purpose-to pro- duce the greatest power with the least possible weight. Fairchild engineers will continue to employ science, research, experience and foresight, to design and build aircraft engines that put the touch of tomorrow in the planes of today.

5' 55 Corsairs take off on AERDLS With remarkiable smoothness, these Chance Vought fighters, called Corsairs, race off the flat-top's deck. Enemy ships have been sighted and hunting prospects are good. Like other American aircraft, Corsairs are Aerol- equipped. Thus they can take off and land on a flight deck with speed and safety. The superb performance of Aerols on today's war planes is but a prelude to the safety and comfort they will contribute to after-the-war aviation.
