Nevertheless, Keith Bratton and IT had a fine time at our autograph®party, If Keith mentioned it once, he mentioned 50 times that he was choked up with nostalgia on *his return to the ol’ alma mater as the illustrator of “Monday Follows Tuesday.” My candid opinion of what was choking my partner doesn’t include nostalgia.

Matheny Jr a tactical and operations expert. He says: “The use of helicopters opens new concepts of ground operations which can effect important changes in the nature of land warfare. They will be used for short-haul transport In corps, divisions... and smaller tactical units to provide greater mobility. The Army ig now organizing helicopter transport companies for allocation to divisions primarily for the purpose of providing a rapid means of transport for infantry units.” Col. Matheny estimates each company will have 21 transport helicopters and two small helicoptergs for command and reconnaissance purposes. A unit, ’ he says, will be capable of transporting in one liti the personnel and equipment for the combat elements of an infantry rifle company. = = - THE COLONEL claims that by converting unit transport to helicopters it would be possible for a unit to move 600 miles per day at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. Present motori units can move about 150 Miles per day at an average speed of 15 miles an hour. All of these tactical advantages, he says, are in addition to the tremendous advantages the helicopter has already proved in moving out the injured, in rescue work, in artil-

lery spotting and in welding all units closer together by providing better liaison between commanders. Looking even further into the future, Capt. Armstrong doesn’t think that the Navy's new oneman helicopters, which strap to the back, are sufficiently proven yet to make predictions on what they might do for an army's . mobility. He doesn’t think that thev will ever be used for more’ than a battalion at one time, however. x » x

HE FEELS THAT the greatest future in this particular field, lies in the convertiplane,

an aircraft which can go up and down as well as fly forward as fast as a conventional plane, and helicopters which can naul heavy field pieces and tanks. The Howard Hughes firm in California has a big new jet helicopter, soon to fly, which is expected to lift a medium tank over a mountain. The Gyrodyne Co. of New York has successfully flown the first convertiplane. The model of another is just about come pleted; it will do everything a helicopter will do, and with short wings and two engines to make it go forward, will be able to carry 20 passengers and fly 200 miles per hour, the builders claim. Capt. Armstrong thinks that such a plane is really the answer to all of the Marine Corps and Army transport problems.
