America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This young mechanic, equipped with a well-fitted tool kit, goes after engine trouble in his model plane. Like millions of other boys, he is vitally interested in aero-modelling, and is learning in his home workshop principles of aeronautical engineering which he will put to good use in the air-minded post-war world. Young model plane builders recently turned out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train their personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft. The models, which were built in a scale of one to seventy-two, were representations of all types of aircraft used by the United Nations and the enemy

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This young American builds various types of model planes, with different types of wing construction in order to conduct a study of wind resistance. The planes are made of balsa wood covered with silk and waterproofing material. The experience and knowledge of aeronautics he gains in these experiments will be put to good use in the air-minded post war world. Courses in aeronautics have already been added to the curriculum in many U.S. schools

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. An oil well, marked by a tall, steel derrick, is producing oil for the United Nations in the garden of a private home in Oklahoma City, capital of the U.S. southwest state of Oklahoma. Oil industrialists in the U.S. have searched for oil over nearly every foot of the ground in America. They are aided in their search by geology experts trained in reading the surface of the ground as well as test borings to detect the presence of oil, often at great underground depths. In the case of Oklahoma City the town was built before it was discovered that rich petroleum deposits lay under the town site. Oil wells were even drilled on the State House grounds near the state's Capitol building, and the flow from these wells enriched the coffers of the state government. What geologists call the "diligence" of U.S. seekers after oil has made the U.S. a great oil producing nation, though it contains but 15 percent of the proven oil deposits of the world

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This unusual model airplane, a composite of several different types, is launched by its youthful builder at Modelhaven Airport, "the smallest airport in the world," near the city of Baltimore in the eastern state of Maryland. Model building is a popular hobby among young Americans, who band together in clubs and classroom groups to turn out model airplanes of every type and variety. When the U.S. government in 1941 called on model plane builders to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train their personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft, it was estimated that there were nearly three million American youths actively interested in aero-modelling

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Over hills and mountains, across broad rivers and through densely weeded regious runs what the U.S. calls the "Big Inch," the largest oil pipeline in the world, built specially to expedite supplies of oil derivatives to U.S. armed forces and the armies of the United Nations. The pipe line extends from the oil fields of the U.S. southwest state of Texas to the New York City - Philadelphia oil district of the U.S. eastern Atlantic coast, a distance of almost 1,400 miles (2240 kilometers). It is 24 inches in diameter and delivers a daily flow of 300,000 barrels. The picture shows the pipeline in the course of building. A section, before being lowered into the trench built to receive it, has been coated with hot asphalt paint. The completed pipeline cost $95,000,000

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. A member of the San Antonio Gas Model Club, which does its weekly flying at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas, proudly displays his amphibian model airplane, which has a six foot (1.8 meters) wing spread. When an earlier model crashed there was nothing left but one good wing. This young model enthusiast decided to build a new plane around it. He built an amphibian and turned out a perfect flying job. The plane is made of balsa wood covered with silk and waterproofing material. Like millions of other young Americans who make model building their hobby, this young man will be called upon to put his practical experience in aeronautics to use in the air-minded post war world
