drive, are pictured in action here. Men of this detachment have just been dropped from a Nazi transport plane. They have discarded their parachutes, assembled their heavy machine gun, and are dashing for the

Will American Battleships Come to This?
The whaleback battleship, heavily armored, may be the answer to the threat of the dive bomber, ac-
cording to the Secretary of the Navy, Charles Edison. Just what a whaleback battleship would look like Is shown by this drawing by Otto Kuhler, New York designing engineer. The rounded armored surfaces give maximum resistance to direct hits and deflect striking power.
