1. The dramatic events of December

1. The dramatic events of December 7, 1941 plunged this nation into war. The full import of the war we cannot even now comprehend, but one of the effects stands out in sharp relief the coming of the air age. The airplane, which played a relatively minor part in World War I, has already soared to heights undreamed of save by the few with mighty vision. Inn wartime the airplane is the artillery on wings and the battleship that flies. To man in his need it symbolizes deadly extremes : friend of foe; deliverance of death. It is a powerful instrument of war-revolutionizing military strategy, but its peacetime role is just as revolutionary. This new master of time and space, fruit of man's inventive genius, has come to stay, smelling to earth and smoothing its surface. To all of us, then, of youth and to adult alike, comes the winged challenge to get ourselves ready-to orient ourselves for living in an age which the airplane seems destined to mold.
