[[image]]

All hail to the ace in the "wild blue yonder". . . but let's give with some man-sized cheers for the lads who slug it out at hill-top level. From the time they take off . . . till the mission is completed, these strategic fighter bombers and tactical close support pilots face a brutal blasting all along the way.
> > > Sniped at by small arms and machine guns. . . bracketed by flak with the constant hazard of limping home harassed by enemy aircraft. . . these are the stout warriors for whom we've planned Republic's rugged THUNDER-craft. . . to get them there. . . do the job, and bring them back.
