THE TYNPALL TARGET THE REPUBLIC OF THE SKY Men speak of Lightning fighters and liberator bombing planes--of battles fought above far-off places I ike Guadalcanal and Kiska, Foggia and Kunming. They speak in astonishment and pride and awe- as if it were by some miracle our air power had flung itself across alien skies to strike the foe. But these are not far-off places, they are not alien skies. To American fliers no spot upon the globe is strang~, no starry bivou ac is new, no trackless path under the sun is foreign. The sky is their own Republic. It was discovered through the genius of the Wrights and explored by the pioneer vision of Curtiss, Martin, Boe ing, Douglas and a host of aerial frontiersmen. Billy Mitchell was their prophet and bold captains I ike Rickenbacker and Doolittle led them on silver wings across continents and oceans unti I the world became a shrunken ball of dirt and water. They scoffed at time and laughed at distance. They flew on unti I they had carried their white star, their flag and their dream into that new Republic of the clouds. Their dream? Yes--a splendid vi sion of chasms bridged between nations, of peaceful commerce and ordered I iberty and human brotherhood. Now that ideal is challenged. The German brigand, the Jap pi rate, are fighting American airmen in their own vast domain. They fight on the stern frontiers of God's high heaven, where only the brave may enter and only the freeman shall stay. It is eagle country.
