March, 1943 Page 103 * A Vital New Use for RCA Audio-Visual Aids! * When the enemy attacks • • • Our boys remember a movie they sanir! Maybe it's the first time that this American soldier has faced the enemy. The shells scream and lunge overhead ... the machine guns crackle and chatter ... there's a dog- fight in the air... But that American boy is prepared ... just for this. Instinctively, he remembers the maneuvers back home, the drilling, the words of his commanding officer. And he remembers too, a movie he saw. For part of that American boy's training was see- ing films that prepared him for combat conditions. Every man in his camp had to see them, had to study the movements and actions, the best ways to meet the enemy and beat him back. America is giving its fighting men the soundest, most thorough training any army can receive— and films are a vital part of that training. The Signal Corps, the Air Corps, the Navy, and other branches of the armed services, use this new visual method to help equip their men for modern warfare. At present, there are more than 500 sub- jects covered by the training film program, and new ones are being added constantly. In all of this work, RCA projectors, film recording and reproducing facilities play an important part. We are proud that our equipment can help prepare American fighting men to face the enemy with greater confidence and greater skill... can help make them the fighters who will lick the Axis! Today, when RCA 16 mm. sound projectors are available only for war purposes —it pays to keep your equipment in topnotch condition. Treat it carefully, make it do for the duration — until you can again ob- tain these superior projectors for your educational work. ICTORY BUY WAR INDS RCA Victor Division • Educational Dept.
