An official order from Lt. Gen. Thomas Holcomb, Commandant of the Marine Corps, formally alters the fourth line of the song's first stanza to "In the air, on land and sea," instead of "On land as on the sea." The stanza now reads: From the halls om Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli; We fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea." Nazi Technique This technique was reportedly used by a German squadron in a recent attack on a convoy off the northern coast of Norway: Sixteen aircraft approached the convoy head-on at low altitude and in column until a point was reached two miles from the head of the convoy. From this point each attacking plane attempted to filter through the convoy columns singly at very low altitude. One captain in the convoy said each aircraft carried two torpedoes which were released singly from as low as 10 feet, and that the planes, after launching their torpedoes at the outer column of ships, proceeded through to the inner columns so low that his forecastle machine guns were firing downward at the attacking planes. From Hell to Breakfast Said Lieut. Col. John Hubert Davies with the Army Air Forces in Australia: "Give us 100 dive bombers and we'll scatter Japanese shipping from hell to breakfast. With these planes, if you sight of ship—it's down the chimney, and no more ship. You can't miss." in Orange county, the sheriff has asked that ranchers and motorists watch for suspicious cars, and take down license numbers of any machines seen parked near pumping plants or other improvements. Glass Gets Sarge When Zero Fails Zero machine gun fire in the air isn't so bad, but watch out for broken glass on the ground. At least that's the opinion of Sgt. Hamilton Moore, tail gunner in a Flying Fortress during the battles of Midway and Pearl Harbor, who survived hails of enemy bullets only to suffer a cut arm on a broken window at Honolulu. Sgt. Moore, 24, has just been assigned to the Army Air Forces West Coast Training Center to apply the benefits of his combat experience to the teaching of future aerial knights at the Las Vegas (Nevada) Army Gunnery School. The sergeant's B-17 is credited with downing eight enemy planes while depositing its own lethal load of bombs in places where it would do the most good. His ship took off repeatedly from bomb-pocked runways at Midway to battle invading sky and sea fleets. During the early spring Sgt. Moore and his buddies were cave men, sleeping in caves of a tiny Pacific island base. At Pearl Harbor he was one of the gallant group who took army planes aloft against overwhelming odds. The jeep got its name when the first of these bouncing buggies rolled off the freight car. A soldier noticed the initials "GP" stenciled on the side to signify "General Purpose."
