ne Sure-fire Meteorologist Worth 100 Bombers in Air * Fighting Over North Sea, Al Williams Declares.

By MAJ. AL WILLIAMS Times Special Writer Meteorolgists—the weather scientists—are running this war between +airpower and seapower in the North Sea, contrary to the common imghe admirals and generals are lords of all they survey.

a It’s the lads poring over charts, drawing isotherms (lines drawn through points of equal temperature), checking mass movements of fhe A and calculating “cold fronts” and “warm fronts,”

Ywho forecast the weather informajion on which naval and air misi are based.

= Man may circumvent the weather, “put he never can beat it. It has inuenced his clothing, his foods, his habits, and, in many instances, his “temperament, and it has inexorably “Swung the scales of victory and dedeat from time immemorial.

7+ Weather licked Napoleon and Sorced the disastrous retreat from “Moscow. Violent moods of the “weather went a long way toward deeating the Spanish Armada. "Weather almost licked the Russians, “as it supplemented the gallant fightTne of the Finns. 2% Gales toss the sea in mountainous “waves and destroy the marksman“ship of a navy’s best gunners. And svhen Old Man Weather opens his “fist and turns loose blankets of fog, sleet or snow and ices the wings of “Warplanes—airpower is hog-tied. *.-In fact, weather is the Achilles ‘heel of airpower.- In the current istruggle over the North Sea, as vile 38nd treacherous a weather-breeding fgtretch as I ever have seen—and I “have flown it in my own Gulfhawk leone sure-fire meteorologist is “worth 100 bombers and even more geuperiat e fighters. The brilliant record of the last year, during which all the airlines

of the United States operated withby religious attention to weather analysis and weather reporting. Seapower has an ace card in this titanic struggle with airpower in the North Sea, and particularly along the Norwegian coastline. Snow, sleet and gales may still the wings of war, but it need not do more than hamper battleships and cruisers.

If the weather is fair enough for Germany’s mass bomber formations to operate, then the jig is up for seapower. But if - the weather grounds the bombers, seapower comes into its own—and has the stage practically to itself. And so, while experts and others are concentrating on numbers, broadside gunfire of battlefleets and mass air attacks, British and German meteorologists have sharpened their pencils and are leaning over vast charts reading the cards as Old Man Weather plays them. :
