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. . .. '
