bedication To the men and women in our armed forces this Pohob is dedicated, for it is they who are giving all to secure a future in which peace and freedom are rights of every human being. They are the men and women who are working, fighting, and enduring un- believable hardships so that both they and we here at home may, when victory is ours, have all the opportunities and privileges that are part of a true democracy. Victory will bring a world far different from the one we have known, a world in which the airplane will not be a luxury enjoyed by a few, but a means of transportation as vital to our existence as is the automobile today. The men and women now in the various services of our country will have a definite place in the AIR AGE. Knowing that such courageous warriors will be the leaders in post-war America, and confident that they will be no less courageous in peace-time activities, we are surely justified in facing the future with a great optimism.
