 The 9th United States Air Force, commanded by Major General Lewis Brayerton, prepares for one of the most daring raids of the war. A daylight bombing of the ployest oil fields in Nazi-controlled Romania. Fields that supply the Nazi war machine with nearly a third of its vital petroleum. Now from bases in North Africa, 1,200 miles away, American bombers are ready to strike. Months of planning are behind the attack. For weeks, crews have studied their target, made practice runs perfecting the precision of the bombardiers. Now the Great Fleet is sky-born, more than 175 giant liberators streaking across the Mediterranean and not an enemy plane in sight. Over the coast of Greece, across the rugged Balkan mountains, past the Danube, the bombers roar upon their mission. The first wave swoops low as the target is sighted. Ployests 19 square miles of oil derricks, refineries, storage tanks, and cracking plants. From 500 feet they pour incendiaries, then bombs. 300 tons of high explosives right on the mark. In the areas in all Europe, the bombers fight their way home, knocking out 51 enemy planes. Although 21 bombers fail to return, the raiders struck the Nazi war machine a crippling blow. Home with battle scars, mission accomplished.

This is the first time she has given up her world work long enough to accompany her famous husband on one of his many journeys. While Mrs. Churchill rested in Quebec, the Prime Minister visited President Roosevelt in the United States. Now Mr. Churchill and his official party await the arrival of Mr. Roosevelt in Canada. Here, with other United Nations leaders, new drives are being mapped to bring the axis to the terms of Casablanca. Unconditional surrender.

Although still showing the strain of her long journey, she plunges anew into the fight to free China. Famous Henry Kaiser shipyards, the Brockmiller family have established an amazing record in the annals of shipbuilding. Headed by the father, every one of the family's 15 adults, including the girls, is helping build America's liberty ship. Each member of the family invests part of his wages in government war bonds. Father Brockmiller brought his big family of children and grandchildren here to work nearly a year ago, and they've certainly made good on the job. Mother's roll is in the kitchen. Cooking and serving food for 29 hungry Brockmillers is a job in itself. Workers on the home front, all helping to win the war.
