The Routine at an Air Force Redistribution Station
Cover: The Guard
Here are pictured part of the crack, mounted regiment known as the “King’s Guard”. They represent the pick of the Iranian army and from the look on the Major in the foreground you can see that they realize the importance of their job. The Cover and the series of Majlis pictures on pages 12 & 13 were taken by Pfc. Monty Oettinger.

Eyes of the Guns (Artillery Spotters) By Sgt. Barrett McGurn
Our Field Artillery at Bougainville, so effective that it stops Japanese attacks with no help from the other ground forces, gets remarkable on-the-nose fire direction from its Ops in jungle treetops and in Piper Cubs flying low over the enemy’s lines.
