Douglas C-47 'AMERICA AT WAR.' Soaring above the clouds, a transport plane of the U.S. Naval Air Transport Service roars past snow-caped Caroloi Volcano, on its flight through the Aleutians toward Attu Island. The Naval Air Transport Service, founded five days after the United States entered the war, operates on accurately timed schedules over 60,000 miles of flight, routes linking five continents, carrying men and materials of war all over the world to the fronts where they are needed most.
