ARMY & AIR FORCE

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN TOTAL WAR. Going down to a 8.8. C. canteen for a cup of coffee the other day was a man in the smoke-blue uniform of the Royal Ail’ Force —he was a soldier. At the next table when he sat down was another man in the khaki of the Army —he was a flying man. These two men, brought in by producers to talk oil the air of their work, are a delightful example of the topsy-turvy results of total war. The man in the Air Force , uniform had the shoulder flash “R.A.F. Regiment,” meaning that special regiment that has been, so to speak,- leased and lent by the Army to t'he R.A.F. for the purpose of guarding aerodromes. The man in khaki bore on his shoulder a maroon coloured flash with a light blue Pegasus and the words “Airborne.” He was a member of the new . unit of the Army which has been trained to invade in troop-carrying planes and gliders.
