The siege gun in the sky
This is an Axis eye-view of a haymaker from America's aerial artil

Pearl Harbor, the B-17 is one of the toughest customers in the clouds
and a great airplane that flies first on Chevron Aviation Gasoline.
To assure smooth, dependable power in Flying Fort flight-tests,
Boeing Aircraft Company's West Coast plant selects Chevron
Aviation Gasoline. In these critical flights in combat, too-Chcvron
Aviation Gasoline is proving itself a standout in the skyways and
paving the way for a great new Chevron Gasoline for the highways. J
