Defense housing, Erie, Pennsylvania. The old and the new. At the right is pictured one of the new defense homes now under construction, while in the background is shown one of the apartment homes built for the defense workers during World War I. Where as many of the latter homes were disposed of due to private concerns after the war, it is expected that many of the new defense homes now being built will eventually become part of the overall slum clearance program. Others will help fill the urgent peace time need in America for low cost homes

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This young mechanic, equipped with a well-fitted tool kit, goes after engine trouble in his model plane. Like millions of other boys, he is vitally interested in aero-modelling, and is learning in his home workshop principles of aeronautical engineering which he will put to good use in the air-minded post-war world. Young model plane builders recently turned out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train their personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft. The models, which were built in a scale of one to seventy-two, were representations of all types of aircraft used by the United Nations and the enemy

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This young American builds various types of model planes, with different types of wing construction in order to conduct a study of wind resistance. The planes are made of balsa wood covered with silk and waterproofing material. The experience and knowledge of aeronautics he gains in these experiments will be put to good use in the air-minded post war world. Courses in aeronautics have already been added to the curriculum in many U.S. schools

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. Model planes of all types and sizes are being tuned up by their owners for a competitive meet at Modelhaven Airport, near the City of Baltimore in the eastern U.S. state of Maryland. Although fewer participants have turned up in the past few years, because of the numbers now serving in the armed forces, young model builders bring to Modelhaven, "the world's smallest airport," many model planes which show astonishing improvements over previous models. Thes young model builders will put the knowledge of aeronautics gained in home and school workshps to good use in the air-minded post-war world. Courses in aeronautics have recently been added to the curriculum in many U.S. high schools

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Over hills and mountains, across broad rivers and through densely weeded regious runs what the U.S. calls the "Big Inch," the largest oil pipeline in the world, built specially to expedite supplies of oil derivatives to U.S. armed forces and the armies of the United Nations. The pipe line extends from the oil fields of the U.S. southwest state of Texas to the New York City - Philadelphia oil district of the U.S. eastern Atlantic coast, a distance of almost 1,400 miles (2240 kilometers). It is 24 inches in diameter and delivers a daily flow of 300,000 barrels. The picture shows the pipeline in the course of building. A section, before being lowered into the trench built to receive it, has been coated with hot asphalt paint. The completed pipeline cost $95,000,000
