America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. A large pipeline valve controls a pipe leading from storage tanks on shore to fuel tanks of a U.S. merchant ship. This oil dock is in a U.S. Atlantic coast seaport at which oil in large quantities is continually being transhipped for war purposes. The equipment belongs to on the the principal U.S. oil companies working at peak capacity to supply the Navy's mechanized equipment and warplanes of the United Nations. The amount of gasoline needed alone for the 180,000 planes manufactured by the U.S. since December 7, 1941 is indicated by the fact that to train one flyer pilot requires 12,500 gallons of gasoline, enough to last the average U.S. civilian motorist a lifetime

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. An "oil flow chart," showing the course of oil through a modern plant, is being studied by men of an oil "cracking" unit in the U.S., while an expert explains to them the intracacies of the chart. Large oil "cracking" plants, for the rapid production of aviation gasoline and other products, are one of the most recent developments in the refining phase of the oil industry in the United States. Crude oil in these units, when subjected to great heat and pressure, is forced to give up more of its derivable elements than by former methods of refining. The process "cracks" or breaks down the crude oil molecules. In the last eight years since the process was put into operation more than 1,000,000,000 barrels of crude oil, it is estimated, have been saved by the large quantities of crude oil products now being made available to the combat units of the U.S. and her allies

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. Model planes of all types and sizes are being tuned up by their owners for a competitive meet at Modelhaven Airport, near the City of Baltimore in the eastern U.S. state of Maryland. Although fewer participants have turned up in the past few years, because of the numbers now serving in the armed forces, young model builders bring to Modelhaven, "the world's smallest airport," many model planes which show astonishing improvements over previous models. Thes young model builders will put the knowledge of aeronautics gained in home and school workshps to good use in the air-minded post-war world. Courses in aeronautics have recently been added to the curriculum in many U.S. high schools
