Real Camouflage
p. 28 · Read in the full issue
A PRETTY AWAS was strolling in a beautiful part of the country— graceful trees, a limpid lake, and no one around, as far as she could see.
In this idyllic spot she decided to go for a swim; so, carefully putting her uniform on the ground, she went in.
As she emerged, she noticed a jaunty lieutenant swinging along the road. Not having time to dress, the AWAS decided to hide behind a tree until the lieutenant had passed.
He approached, halted, and shouted: “Camouflage Company Number One— dismiss!”—and all the trees marched off.
Mr. Harold Gatty, who was the direct ing genius of the South Pacific section of Pan American Airways, until the Jap anese outbreak caused suspension of the service, has been doing war work, since December, 1941, in Auckland, Melbourne, Brisbane and New York. The book about early Pacific navigation, upon which he was engaged for years, was published in New York, under the title of “The Raft Book.” Mr. W. J. Mullahey, another well-known official of the airline, is now doing an important job in the South- West Pacific.
