This issue functions as an educational anthology for aspiring military aviators, featuring instructional content on aerial combat and meteorology. "How Airplanes Fight Submarines" explains the role of Sikorsky helicopters and aircraft in anti-submarine warfare, describing tactics for detecting and attacking enemy U-boats with depth charges and machine gun fire, illustrated with photographs labeled "Tidewater Tillie." "Meteorology Simplified," written by Lieutenant-Commander Ernest G. Vetter, covers weather phenomena critical to flight operations, including thunderstorms, wind shear, hail, ice formation, and line squalls, with guidance on how pilots should navigate these hazardous conditions. The issue also includes a cover feature on superchargers and an I.Q. test section for Air Force trainees.
