It reflects high honor upon ithe American flag airlines which have contributed planes, men, equipment and priceless know-how to |the extension of this service on a global basis. For the planes of the Transport Command *have been operating not on,the well-lighted, familiar airways (of continental United States or the trade routes that {lead to the other Americas, guarded by elaborate |systems of radio aids and meteorological services. ,They have been operating day and night over lands and’ seas relatively uncharted for wings. They have pioneered, -in .a matter of weeks or months, routes ‘hnl!way around, the world, to bring new equipment as |well as material and important personnel to our fighting forces eyerywhere. Planes under Qeneral George's control span the |South Atlantic to Africa and cross the Dark Conti- nent to serve Cairo, Russia and even Chungking. They are 'equally 4t home on the skyways from Maine abave Labrador to Britain and in the broad reaches of the Pacific from the Golden Gate to Diamond |Head and thence down the chain of island stepping- stones to Australia.
