extracted text: QUICK TAKE-OFFS can be made even by heavy bombers after a short run on aircraft carriers equipped with this new launching device, according to Franklin W. Durgin, Washington, D. C., inventor. Increased lift to get the planes up quickly is provided by “amplifying” the breeze created by the ship's motion between paired airfoils that act like the familiar Venturi tube. The structures sink flush with the deck when not in use. The invention is designed to make possible the use of shorter vessels, which would be harder for enemy bombs and torpedoes to hit.
