This is the story of an airman who uses his devotion and training in an attempt to find himself and the girl he loves. Here's an important message for all like servicemen. You may be qualified to enlist in the United States Air Force at a higher grade and at higher pay than you may realize. Yes indeed, the United States Air Force has instituted a new policy that offers big new benefits to veterans of all the armed forces. Right now, the Air Force needs men who are experienced in critical skills required to keep America's air defense strong. If you have training in these skills, the Air Force wants you and they'll put you right on the job. So for full details, write or visit your nearest Air Force recruiter right away. Ask them for the folder for prior servicemen. You'll see how you can put your service gain skills to work to your best advantage. Remember, you've earned credits toward a fine retirement in the service so you protect your initial investment as an airman. Today and tomorrow, you're better off in the United States Air Force. And now your United States Air Force presents the Proudly, we hail production, Two Loves. It's easy to appreciate the dramatic force of a jet plane hurtling through the sky at supersonic speed or to recognize the value of a majestic bomber shining proudly in the sun as it flies unswervingly to its objective. Yes, these are the things we see and know about the Air Force. But there is more to it than just that. For behind the plane that flies, there is a multitude of skilled services working efficiently and smoothly without the help of which a great part of our air power would surely be crippled. One of these is the United States Air Force Airways Air Communications Service. Air Force 46621, make right turn at end of runway. Player to the ramp, over. Air Force 621, Roger. And another one tucked in. Is it kind of hopping around here, aren't they, Harry? Yeah. What's on your mind, Art? Harry, I got them all filled out. I'm going to send them in today. What's that? You cutting off box tops or something? Oh, my application for cadet pilot training. Oh, yes, I forgot about that. Boy, if this goes through... You're going to be a fly, boy, eh? Well, good luck. Hey, you think I'll be accepted, Harry? I don't know, maybe. I have to make it a simply have to. Oh, look, what are you knocking yourself out for, Art? You've got a good setup here. That ground control approach deal of yours is out of this world. And you're based in California, the garden of... You don't understand, Harry. I like to operate that GCA mobile unit, and I think I do a good job. Yeah, so... But it isn't flying. I want to fly, Harry. That's all there is to it. Yeah, I see what you mean. Well, good luck, kid. I hope you make it. Thanks. How about a movie tonight? They're playing one of those underwater pictures. That ought to take your mind off this flying kick of yours. Air Force 48634, over. Oh, that's me. Air Force 48634, this is Stevens Tower, over. Air Force 48634, six miles south of your field, request landing instructions, over. Air Force 48634, cleared to enter left traffic. Land on runway 26, wind north, six knots. Hey, Art, you still got your mind on flying? Yeah. Can I just have the service club for soda, huh? Okay. How did you like that part where she sashes up to this colonel? Hey, hey, look. What's the matter? Well, that waff there, as I live and breathe, it's Vivian Foster. Hey, Vivian, Vivian, wait for me. Hey, Vivian, it's me, Harry. Oh, it's Harry. Hey. Well, of all people, how are you? I'm just great. What are you doing here? I'm assigned here. Goof headquarters. Well, what do you know? Oh, oh, hey, Art, excuse me. Art, this is Arthur Godner. Very happy to know you. Oh, hello there. Vivian had the best pigtails for pulling that you ever saw. Oh, Harry. Your friend isn't interested in all that ancient history. But I am. Look, come on over to the service club with us, Viv. Well, I don't want to break in on anything. I mean, we'd be very happy if you would join us. Well, I'd love to. Great. Say, Viv, when will your home last? And have you heard from my sister best recently? Arthur, it took three months for those Indian designs. He painted on my face to wear off. My father wouldn't let Harry into our house for the rest of the summer. You didn't think I'd use some kind of cheap paint, did you? And then he started to go out with Eleanor. That was the last anybody ever heard of him. Oh, come on. Oh, you hear from Eleanor much? Does he hear much at least three times a week? No, he doesn't. There's no living with him if he misses a letter. Oh, now stop exaggerating. Oh, I'm glad I ran into you, Harry. Oh, you're going to like it here, Viv. Isn't she odd? Sure will. Hey, hey, what time is it? Uh, 10 after 10. Oh, I'm late. I promised I'd drop by the mobile unit and give Chuck a hand. He's having trouble with the transmitter. Oh, I'm sorry. You have to go. Well, duty calls. You know your way back to your barracks from here, Viv? Well, I guess so. Oh, I'll walk you back. That is if it's all right with you. Oh, good. Thanks a lot. So long, Viv. I'll keep in touch with you. Goodbye, Harry. I want to take you out of your way. No, it isn't out of my way. Vivian? And so I thought I'd like the WAF. Well, here I am in California. You think you're going to like it? Well, I don't know. Well, it's also beautiful. If there's anything I can do, Vivian, just you sing out. Roger. What I mean is that is to say, Harry and I do anything to see to it that you have a good time. You just remember that. Yes, Arthur. I will. Hey, Odd, what do you say we go into Frisco this Friday? I get the day off, too. Well, uh, no, Harry. I don't think I can make it. Maybe some other time, huh? Well, why not? We'll have a barrel of last. And I hear they got a new show over at the Lyceum. That's a beauty. I can't. I have another appointment. Uh-huh. Let me take a guess. Vivian? Uh, well, yes. As a matter of fact, it is. Hey, you've been giving the little lady one big rush these last two months. Well, you know how it is. I just wanted to get to know the place sort of. And you're giving her the 50-cent tour. Is that it? Well, yeah. Something like that. Looks to me like you've got it, son. Got it bad? Well, I wouldn't say that exactly, Harry. Well, you don't have to say it. I just did. Did you tell her that you've been accepted for cadets? No. I think I'll tell her today. Well, toodaloo, lover boy. I'll be seeing you. Oh, get out of here. Wonderful. I could swim and swim and never get tired. Okay, little mermaid. Break out the food. I'm starving. Well, that's all you think of. It's a wonder you don't weigh 400 pounds. I'm just a growing boy. Well, here. Try this roast beef sandwich. Mm-hmm. Hey, this is all right. You've been making eyes of that Miss Sergeant again. Oh, Arthur, you're crazy. You know what I mean? If I wasn't so hungry, I'd be indignant. Hey, look at that F-86. Look at him go. Isn't that beautiful? Sure. Look at him climb. That's going up in a hurry. Now to dive. Watch him, Vib. Watch him. And away we go. To you, doesn't he? Well, the greatest, Vib. Now, for instance, you take that guy up there. He's free and alone. He can go anywhere, Vib, anywhere he wants to. Oh, yeah. And it's important to you. Do you realize that the whole success or failure of the Air Force depends on how well that fellow does his job? You. Your job is important, too. Oh, it's a great job, Vib. I admit that. But that isn't flying. And I want to fly. Oh? There's beauty and simple logic in the way a man flies. You can see that, can't you, Vib? Of course, Arthur. And the pilot, well, he holds all the cards. He knows the power of his engines, the shape of his plane, the nature of the air he's flying through. He uses this power and knowledge and the senses he was born with to fly a soft, lazy pattern in the sun or to shoot through the air faster than sound itself. Oh, we've forgotten our lunch. How about another sandwich? Oh, yeah, we can interfere with my eating now. There's a science at which I'm a past master. Oh, Arthur, you're a fool. Vibian. Yes? Having fun, Vib? I don't think I've ever had so much fun in all my life. Vibian. Vibian, I'm glad you came here. I mean, well, meeting you was the best thing that ever happened around. Vibian, I love you. Oh, Arthur. I do, Vib. I really do. Well, maybe I don't say it so well, but Vibian. Oh, you do mean it, Arthur. You really do. Did you tell her about your appointment tickets? No. Oh, look, what are you waiting for? Oh, I don't know, Harry. We just didn't get around to what we were talking about other things. I'll tell her. Don't worry. I'll tell her today. Oh, you've got it pretty bad, haven't you, kid? Yeah, I guess I have. Well, she's a terrific girl. I know she is. Harry, you think she'll understand? I mean about my leaving. Maybe, but I think I'd tell her the whole deal if I were you. The longer you wait, the more it's going to hurt. Harry, why can't I be like other guys? Why do I have to knock myself out with this flying routine? I do a pretty good job in the GCA unit. It's interesting. I like the work and I'll get myself a nice rating out of it. But no, I'm a big wheel. I have to fly. Hey, stop beating your brains out. You know as well as I do that you never will be satisfied until you take a crack at it. Just wish I could leave well enough alone, that's all. When do you leave? June 6th. Exactly three weeks. Yeah, it's kind of quick. Well, I think maybe you'd better go see her and tell her the whole deal. She'll find it out anyway. Roger. And out. You sound as though you had the most important news in the world. What's cooking? Well, you want a soda, Viv? No, no, it's too noisy in here. Let's take a walk, huh? It's beautiful. Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's go. Did you ever see a moon like that in all your life? Look, there's something I want to tell you. Just look at the size of it. You know, I feel as though I could just reach up and touch it. Yeah, it sure is big. Viv, it's about... It's a friendly moon. I mean, I remember seeing the moon at home. It seemed so distant and cold. But now take this fellow. He's just a regular old member of the family. Good old Uncle Moon. Say hello to Uncle Moon, Arthur. Vivian. Oh, it's so lovely here. Hi. Oh, hi. Oh, hello, Carl. You two love birds out here sopping up the moon like that? Yeah, well, we're just taking a little walk. Famous last words. What I mean is famous last unmarried words. We're only taking... Get out of here, you clown. I was leaving all the rough stuff. Oh, we were, Carl, really. Oh, yes, yes, of course. Well, I'll be seeing you guys around. I got to get down to the service club now. So long. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See you, Carl. Oh, say, Arch, I almost forgot. I heard about your good luck. Congratulations. Uh, yeah, thanks, Carl. Take it easy now, huh? How do you like this guy, Viv? An appointment to aviation cadets? I don't know. Some people get all the luck. Well, be careful, Arch. And remember, fly low and slow. So long. Vivian. When, uh, when do you leave? June 6th. Three weeks. Well, that, that isn't very much time. When did you get your orders? Last Tuesday. Yeah, I was so surprised. Viv, you could have knocked me over with a... Oh, Viv, what's the matter? You are listening to the proud Louis Hale production, Two Loves, and we will return in just one moment for the second act. Many times a man is skilled in a particular job, yet he's unable to find a use for it. Has this happened to you? Are you a service veteran with service-gain skills that are just going to waste? Well, if you are, then listen to me, because you may be able to put that skill to work as a member of the United States Air Force. Right now, the Air Force needs experience and know-how gained in all of the armed forces. If you possess one of the critical skills needed to keep America's air defense strong, you could put that experience to work in the Air Force and do so at higher grade and with higher pay than you may realize. You've earned credits toward a fine, valuable retirement income, so you protect that initial investment. For full details, write or visit your Air Force recruiter. Ask for the prior service man's folder. This folder will show you why. Today and tomorrow, you're better off than the United States Air Force. You are listening to Proudly We Hail, and now your United States Air Force presents the second act of Two Loves. Air Force 6-4-2-3-6, ready to roll. Air Force 6-4-2-3-6 cleared for takeoff. Air Force 6-4-2-3-6 off at 3-5, clear to leave tower frequency. Roger. In the way we go. Well, what's the good word, Art? You getting your wings all oiled up? Yeah, I guess so. What's eating you anyway? Nothing, nothing's eating me. I don't know why you say that, Harry. Look around grinning like an idiot, something's eating me. Boy. Is it Vivian? Art, why don't you go and talk to her? She doesn't even know I'm alive. I try to see her, Harry. I must have called her ten times, but... What's the use? The deal went sour, that's all there is to it. You're wrong about that, Art. It's just that her pride is her. She thinks that you were giving her one of those hit-and-run deals, you know. I guess I just don't understand women, that's all. Look, she's a good kid, and I know that she wants to straighten things out just as much as you do. How do you know? I dropped by here about a half an hour ago. She was on her way to operation. Did she tell you that? No, but I can tell. Look, go on down, Art. Talk to her. I don't know. What's she doing in operations? Oh, you didn't know? Well, Colonel Benson is flying to Hawaii to attend some kind of conference, and Viv's going along. She's the conference secretary. They'll be gone three days. I see. Yeah. Well, I'll be seeing you, Harry. So long, Art. And good luck, kid. Thanks. Arthur, I just don't want to talk about it anymore. But, Viv, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You have to believe me. I... Oh, Viv, please. It really doesn't make much difference what I believe. You're getting what you want, and I... Well, I'm satisfied, so let's just let it go with them. Why can't you be reasonable about this thing? I told you I was sorry. What more do you want? I don't want anything. You're doing all the talking. That's the way you want it. Okay. I won't annoy you anymore. That's the way it's going to be. Good. That's flight 417 to Hickham. Passengers, prepare to load. Uh-oh, that's me. Well, I'm off. Bye, Arthur. Goodbye. Sugar odd? Yeah, sure. You all right, your folks, about the cadets yet? Yeah. They must be proud of you, all right. I bet Vivian really is, too. Hold it, hold it. Let's change the subject, huh? Come on, Art. Don't be bitter. She's a stubbornest, most unreasonable girl I ever met in my whole life. Harry, I'm telling you I'm through. Sure, sure, you are. Like me, I dream all my life of flying. I work for it. I study everything. Just when I get to where I'm ready to begin, she comes along and knocks me out. I'm saying it again, Harry. I'm over. Finish, done. Hard of beating my head against a stone wall. How many you think she'll be getting in from Hickham tomorrow? Yeah, yeah, you're finished, all right. You don't want to know anything at all about it, do you? No. I'm curious, that's all. Oh, sure. I guess you'll be in about five o'clock or so. We got ourselves a pretty fine day. But I have a smooth flight home. Yes, sir. It's a beautiful day. You enjoy yourself in Hawaii? Oh, yes, sir. There's so much to see. I wish I could have had some time off. Some of these people just don't know when it's time to stop talking. Yes, sir. Ah, well, it'll be good to get back... tired. That sea looks nice and restful, doesn't it? Yes, sir. It really does look peaceful. I remember days when it was anything but peaceful. Yes, indeed. I think I'll go up forward. It's a long time since I've flown one of these planes. How are we doing, Lieutenant? Fine, sir. Good. Sir. Yes, sir. I'm in Carter. Sir, there's a change in the weather. A storm is blowing up from the southeast. Wind is 43 knots per hour. Ah, that's bad. You think it'll hit the base? It may, sir. Carter, contact Stevens Tower. I'd like to have the weather at the base. Yes, sir. Hey, what's the score, Harry? Any change? No, it looks bad. What about Hamilton? They're worse off than we are. They have winds up to 56 knots. Now, take it easy, boy. We'll bring him in. Who's in the Mobile Unit, Carl? About 50 miles out now. Stevens Tower, this is Air Force 54219 over. Air Force 54219, this is Stevens Tower. Go ahead.

Oh, I was a little worried, darling. I'm so glad to see you. Even though I'm selfish and unreasonable. Don't say that. Oh, I was mistaken. This trip, I don't know. Maybe your two loves confused you for a moment. You really mean that? And I hope that if you ever should get into flying trouble, there'll be somebody like you to bring you down to earth safely. Roger, girl. Two loves, huh? Two loves. When you make an investment, you want it to pay off, right? Well, men, how about those years you invested in the service, learning skills, gaining experience valuable to yourself and your country?
