AIR evacuation of sick
and wounded sol-
diers is being hailed as a
great saver of lives in
this war. Big cargo
planes, flying matériel in-
to battle zones, are con-
verted into swift aerial
ambulances for the trip
back.
In New Guinea, where
transfer over mountains
would take three weeks,
planes cut the time to
less than one hour. A
critically injured soldier
was brought from Indo-
China to the United
States in eight days, Brig.
Gen. David N. W. Grant,
Air Surgeon, reported re-
cently. By land and sea,
the trip might have taken
three months.
