The Chinese-American Air Wing Bombs the Japs

Cover: Zebras

Said the zebra to M/Sgt. Merton H. Huftile in an Australian zoo: “I’ve had my stripes longer than you.” Huftile, a husky from Battle Creek, Mich., nine years in the Marines and five in the Army, was going to give him an argument. But not knowing where or how a zebra shows his age, he decided to move on and inspect the mute kangaroo.
