To clear up confusion caused
by the recent army-navy an
nouncemcnt that men between
the ages of 18 and 20, inclusive
would be earmarked for infan
try replacements by their selec
tive service boards for the next
three months, Lt. Comdr. John
F. Biehler, navy recruiting offi
cer in Oregon, emphasizes that
the navy still is accepting 17-
year-old volunteers.
Hundreds of telephone calls
have been received at the main
recruiting station in Portland
and at all the substations from
17-sters and their parents who
misunderstood the army-navy
announcement and were of the
opinion that all navy enlist
ments had been stopped.
"The joint service order af
fects only those in the 18, 19
and 20-year groups," Comdr.
Biehler stated, "and therefore
does not change the navy's pol
icy of accepting 17-year-olds and

That thought guided us In building the big Pratt & Whitney air

So it wasn't much of a surprise when stories began coming back
about the Hellcat Stories like the one about the single battalion
of 12 M-18's that spent 21 days in continuous action.
Score? Four Tigers, two Mark IV's, four armored vehicles
knocked out and hundreds of enemy troops killed, wounded or
captured. Two M-18's damaged; neither beyond repair, and only
minor injuries to their crews I
Stories like that are legion. They account for words like this,
coming straight from the front:
"The vehicle itself is the finest track-laying vehicle in the army.
It will outmaneuver any vehicle, go where others won't and has
the speed of a wheeled vehicle. "X" company alone has accounted
for 25 German tanks, two self-propelled guns and numerous
wagons and trucks."
That's what, Buick men and Ordnance officers were after when
they joined hands to develop the M-18. They gave it hitting power
- in a high-velocity 76-mm: cannon - traction to go anywhere -speed
to outrace any other land vehicle.
