CONTROL TOWER UNIT OF WEEK P4M-1 NEWEST NAVY PLANE; I 2 JET, 2 STANDARD ENGINES

With the part ial l i f t ing of se-curi ty res t r ic t ions on the XPM4-1. a new long range patrol plane, the Nary has shown that it is as t r ide the t rend to new and be t te r a i r power.

The P4M-1. which looks like a twin-engine plane, real ly has two power p lan ts in each nacelle. In the fo rward area of each nacelle is a P ra t t & Whitney R-4360-20 re-ciprocat ing engine — the largest mil i tary a i rc ra f t engine in use to-day. Housed in the same nacelles aft of the conventional engines a re Allison jet engines .

The four engines working to-ge the r can develop at least 10.500 horsepower . Such a t r emendous

power potential is not readily I grasped by the average person, es-pecially since it is concentra ted into such a compact area .

Actually the pilot of an P4M-1 can call upon approximately two and one thi rd t imes as much power as is used by one of the Pennsylvania Rai l road 's giant elec-t r ic locomotives pulling 125 freight cars behind it.

Offensively and defensively, the new patrol plane is ready for al-most any th ing I t ' s well armored, with new and ingenious prec t ions for the protection of the crew against flak and machine gun Are There a re no blind spots on the P ' * . 1. Enemy a t tack is covered f rom every angle.

LOST & FOUND If the re happened to be pa r t of

your laundry missing the last t ime that it was re turned to you, don't d i spa i r : the Cherry Point Laundry has a "Lost and Found" depar t -ment. Last week they re turned , to a Reserve Officer, a pair of fa lse teeth that he had accidently drop-ped into his laundry bag in De-cember of 1945. Immediately a f t e r losing them he had been t r a n s f e r -red f rom the Point . He accidently discovered that the ivories were sti l l wai t ing for him when he re-turned to the s tat ion, a week ago.

The Squadron has th i r ty planes consist ing of SNJ 's and F4U's and a complement of 130 officers and men with which operat ions a re carr ied out. Pilots who need to be checked out in single-engine a i r -c r a f t begin t ra in ing in the SXJ with an ins t ruc tor . With the SXJ they cover the basic course of in-s t rument flight t ra in ing and also check out in radio.

"But . to perfect it to a point where it is effective in all «: a t ions. not just par t of the t ime, takes more t ime than we have a* disposal. . . .
