1--American bombers are shown selecting their targets on the mainland and the nearby islands of Italy. And "flak-torn" bombers make miraculous landings with "all hands safe."
2--The submarine base at Vegesack, Germany gets a baptism of bombs from successive waves of American bombers.

LEADERS IN NORTH AFRICA

TRUCKS THAT SWIM
Adding to the American magic which is befuddling our unsuspecting foes are the new 2 1/2-ton U. S. Army trucks known as "ducks." With a large pay load, they cruise the roads. On approaching water, they merely nose in, and swim for it. They do everything but fly.

COMMANDOS--SOUTH AFRICAN STYLE
The spirited "African Rifles" go through vigorous final training as they race the obstacle course, leap over yawning trenches, and walk tenuous cable bridges with gusto. And for a finale, they worm their way through treacherous barbed wire entanglements.
