I. BOMBAY'S GENEROSITY IN A HUMANITARIAN CAUSE

I. BOMBAY'S GENEROSITY IN A HUMANITARIAN CAUSE - A cheque is a dull-looking object, so Bombay's Red Cross Committee put this one in a silver casket. And well they might, for what Sir Homi Mehta is giving to the Governor represents fifty lakhs of rupees, collected by the Bombay province for the Red Cross. It was a magnificent effort, and a mere oblong slip of paper didn't seem good enough to symbolise all the selfless enthusiasm which had gone into collecting the money. The Committee arranged everything from street collections to ride on donkeys but Bombay didn't need much encouragement. She gave magnificently.

II. HMIS RAMPUR

II. HMIS RAMPUR - the state of Rampur is many hundreds of miles from the sea, but its ruler's interest in India's naval defence is a very active one, and so this new ship was launched by her Highness the Begum, and it's been adopted by the state. Her Highness launched the ship with a bottle of rosewater, and now the ship went gracefully down the slips. An Indian ship built by Indian labour with Indian materials. She is one of the class of ships, many of which are already doing duty, and doing it sturdily and well.

III. SOLDIERS, SAILORS AND AIRMEN

III. SOLDIERS, SAILORS AND AIRMEN - There was an international note about the Viceroy's tour in Karachi. First with full naval ceremony a visit to units of the royal navy, then a visit to our own royal Indian Navy, to see some of our future sailors under training. Then another sort of march past - a short stroll with US Air Force officers to see some of the machines which are fighting with us in India. The decoration of one of them was pretty international too, and then a chat with a sergeant and some officers. The RAF came next, and His Excellency was able to compare American with British machines - units of two air forces which have provide themselves invincible wherever they've been challenged. Indian, American, and British forces combine to high light the Viceroy's tour of a great war base.

IV. GOOD MAINTENANCE PAYS HANDSOME DIVIDENDS

IV. GOOD MAINTENANCE PAYS HANDSOME DIVIDEND - It's a party - you can see that from the chairs in the foreground. Well, they invited the trains too. The trains were greeted by General Manager of the GIP, and, as guests, they were very much admired for their smart turn out. Then the General manager got a garland, and the real business of the party started, which was to give prizes to the crews of the locomotives. First prize went to this man - a cup - that's something else for him to keep clean. After that came the rest of the prizes, all of them going to men who had formed themselves into 'polish clubs' for the purpose of this competition, even buying their own polish. The railways ask us to travel less, in order to help them - here's the railway helping itself by first class maintenance and service.

V. ELEVEN YEARS OLD - THE INDIAN AIR FORCE

V. ELEVEN YEARS OLD: THE INDIAN AIR FORCE - In tribute to the Indian air Force - eleven years old on April the first - we bring you action pictures of the planes that supported the fourteenth army in its recent Burma successes - Vultee Vengeance bombers preparing to hit the Japs. Bomb doors closed and the Vultee Vengeance is ready of take off when the signal comes through. Briefing must be through the accurate - ingle targets are among the world's most difficult to find. He relies on his skill, and good luck to see him through, and to make sure of the good luck, he takes aboard another passenger. A last check up, and the planes are away, may be to turn the scales in some vital action being fought out in an isolated part of the battle front - isolated except for the ubiquitous Vengeance Dive Bomber. Precise formation flying may look easy in pictures, but when you're doing it over heavy tropical country where the air is as full of bumps as the land beneath it needs all your skill all the time. The leading planes sights the target, one by one they peel off to show the Japs the stuff our eleven year old Air Force is made of.
