The Brains of the Team
Teamwork can work miracles. In a football game the man
who sparks these miracles is the quarterback. He’s the man
who calls the signals. There’s a man who calls the signals
for an Air Force flying team, too!
They call him an Aircraft Observer.
Do YOU have what it takes to become an Aircraft Observer?
It isn’t easy. It’s tough. You have to be a MAN to qualify
as an Aircraft Observer. But when you are one, brother,
you're SOMEBODY! The success or failure of a mission in-
volvinc over a million dollars worth of flight equipment
depends on you.
THE AIRCRAFT OBSERVER IS THE SOMEBODY WHO:
As Bombardment O fficer, is number one man on a bombing
run, the man who controls the plane in the target area!
As Navigation Officer, is the pilot’s guiding hand on every
flight!
As Radar Officer, is master of a new science and operator
of the device that sees beyond human sight!
As Aircraft Performance Engineer Officer, is the one who
“keeps the plane flying’’, the man who knows his plane in
side and out, who keeps it fit for the skies and sees that it
stays there!
If YOU can accept a challenge ffke this, you’ll take your
place beside the best—you’ll find your future in the clouds!
TO BE QUALIFIED you must be single, a citizen, between 19
and 26 l /2 years old, have had at least 2 years of college and
be in tip top physical shape. If this describes you, then
YOU, too, can qualify. Today!
HERE'S WHAT YOU’LL GET! The world’s best training. Good
food and plenty of it. Uniforms, flight clothes, eguipment.
Medical and dental care. Free insurance. Flight training in
Uncle Sam’s greatest aircraft.
AND THEN, AFTER GRADUATION, you’ll win your silver
wings, and earn more than S5000 a year as an Air Force
Lieutenant. You’ll enjoy an adventurous, exciting career
with a hand-picked crew of real men. You’ll be THE BRAINS
OF THE TEAM. A TRIPLE THREAT MAN . . . as a Bombard
ment Officer, as a Navigation Officer, as a Radar Officer, as
an Aircraft Performance Engineer.
THE SOONER YOU APPLY, THE SOONER YOU FLY!
GIT THE details: Visit your nearest Air Force Base or Air Force Recruiting Officer. Or write to Director
of Training. Headquarters, USAF. Washington 25, D.C., Attention: Aviation Cadet Branch. If you are
in a school that has an Air Force ROTC program, see your Professor of Air Science and Tactics.
