F012 KYBOUND . . . the trail-blazers of tomorrow carve new paths across the blind- ing panorama of a new dawn. Adventure beating in the red blood of a million young hearts as gleaming silver ships send shadows over dwarfed cities, mountains and river valleys. Old visions discarded for a single dream, long-sought through centuries, discovered by today's children, omnipresent in their ambitions, hopes and ideals. To press onward, forwarding progress by piercing tapering wing tips through sunlight and shadow. The lure of conquest biting at their souls, urging them toward a triumphant goal. Answering the supreme challenge of the airways, they choose to awaken the world. New aspirations, eyes against the stars, and the inspired youth of America eager to test new wings. The l940 Olympiad has chosen as its theme Wings For the World. Fitting, because it represents youth ascending the skyline, penetrating the far corners of the universe, shattering the clouds of uncertainty. Great strength in these wings which know no bounds, forever looking toward the zenith of their destination. w.53 m6: m,'.:mm , ' , H , A 'ilwwfkfi 7 I Y, ,Q h .J .ak 1. - t .wk Vw,-' s.

ORD . ' qi,-5 9g.j,1mw,w. XMI' Throbbing motors await the take-off. Pilots, confident in their ability to succeed, don helmets and step into the cockpit. There is life in the powerful engines, flowing turbulently through sturdy steel veins. The great body vibrates, hovers a moment, then roars upward, its huge wings spreading over the earth. No turning back! There are new ambitions to assuage. Adventure in the sky! The blazing glory of a dying sunset, blue horizons, white dawn-these and many others will unfold, pageant-like against the nose of the hurtling air liner, flashing color on a quivering head of silver. Dimming the rays of the sun they travel, the lust of living in their hearts. There will be blind flying. Mis-ts and shadow, fog and rain will handicap visibility. The pilot at the controls will wonder which course to take as jagged mountain peaks loom dangerously near. Then he remembers his Wings For the World. There is a moment of darkness, and at last sunlight. Onward sing spinning propellers, and the cry is echoed over the winds. Undaunted by obstacles, numerous as the star-lights which glance from the plunging sides of the ship, they speed ahead, enriching the world with the invaluable treasures they gather on their non-stop flight to victory.
