Aerial Ambulances Serve 3000 Patients Per Month San Antonio, Tex. (U.'R) A fleet of aerial ambulances shuttles back and forth across the country with commuter-bus devotfon to meeting schedules, and the personnel serves in a dedicated manner. The pilots why fly the hospital ships of the air call their mis sion Air Evac, short for aerial evacuation. It's the peacetime outgrowth of the large-scale air movement of (tick and wounded during World War II and the Korean War. Though skimpy by wartime standards, the current edition of "Wings- for the Wounded" handles 3,000 patients a month most servicemen who are stricken while on fluty. Ambulance service by air has almost totally replaced train and st-p movement of long haul pa tients through the Armed Forces. Servicemen and their depend ents, veterans, merchant marin ers, and in some cases civilians are eligible to use Air Evac, with Uncle Sam picking up the ,tab to the tune of $750,000 a month. 31 Planet The Pentagon wants to give the ailing servicemen the best possible care at a government hospital nearest the man's home. With Air Evac doing the job, the patientgets JJiere faster and gets back on his job faster than if transported by other means. Thus the government feels the man-hours saved justify Air Evac's expense. But more important, Air Force officials maintain, an ever-ready Air Evac system can convert to full wartime mobilization on short notice should an emerg ency arise. It's a dedicated bunch' of fly boys, flight nurses and ground GM Seen Headed for Billion Dollar Year New York - (l).R) , General Motors Corp., earning more dur ing the first nine months of 1955 than any ' corporation in history has ever earned in a full year, seemed well on its way today toward a billion dollar net profit year, The giant firm's nine month sales reSrt, issued Wednesday, said its sales for 1955 already have amounted to $9,607,875,772 and its net income for the three quarter period was $912,g87,537. The previous year's net income record was $834,044,039, set in 1950. The total sales figure for the first nine months of 1955 was nearly as great as the record sales figure of $9,823,529,000 for all of 1954. With the company entering full scale production, GM seemed certain to tdp the 10-billion-dollar sales mark this y crews that makes Air Evac work. "Part of it is the mission," said Lt. Col. Webster Plourd, commander of the Air Evac squadron at Brookley Air Force Base, Ala. "It's knowing you are doing something humanitar ian today rather than training for something tomorrow." But perhaps the most remark able feature of the little-known operation is that 31 planes and fewer than 1,000 officers, men and flight nurses do the whole jh. ' Feeder Flight The Air Evac team, known formally as the 1706th Air Trans port Group, a part of the far flung Military Air Transport Service, assures economical use of personnel and equipment by the simple trick of putting every man and plane to work. -4 Of the 233 men and women who compose the Air Evac of ficer corps, only 30 do not fly as either pilots or flight nurses Even Group Commander Col. O. H. Rigley Jr., who rates his out fit "the finest group in the Air Force bar none," takes a regu lar turn in the cockpit. The wings of Air Evac are 26 C-131Bs, commercial-type Con- vairs equipped with litters, and five four-engine C-54 Skymast ers. They cross the country on regularly scheduled twice-week ly trunk line flights, carrying patients to and . from 400 gov ernment hospitals. But this isn't the half of it. What Rigley calls the "bread and butter" of Air Evac is a system of feeder flight some thing akin to shuttle buses that bring patients into the trunk line points. And, of. course, there are al ways those urgent calls. A'pelio victim in Great Falls, Mont., a man dying of a brain tumor in Memphis, Tenn., the crew of a plane suffering fromv burns fol lowing a crash. Feeder and urgent flights go out from the five Air Evac squad ron headquarters at McGuire AFB, . N. J.; Scott AFB, 111.; Brooks AFB, Tex.; Travis AFB, Calif., and Brookley as the need arises. . ..
