Civilians Guard War Lanes
ARMY, Flash! Two, BI, High, Seen, Morton 6, Four, West, North- east! Such a cryptic message will send the vast machinery of our interceptor system into flying action. Should enemy raiders come, they won't have a chance. Who sends these messages? Where do they go? People like you and you — a million and a half men, women, boys and girls in civilian life are on duty twenty-four hours a day reporting by phone to secret Information Centers.
mules, burros and on foot. On every
In the October issue of Cosmopolitan magazine Harry T. Brundidge tells the story of how it works. Inside of three minutes an enemy plane or submarine can be intercepted. A "spotter" phones information on sighted planes to the Interceptor Command. A "plotter" records the information on a huge map called "a filter board." A "teller" co-ordinates all information about planes and direction of flight. A "controller" orders air interception if planes can't be identified. "Pilots" at Interceptor Field leap into fighting gear and fly planes. "Disaster pilots" relay orders to pilots and gets information from them by radio, 20,000 phone calls come in a day to these Centers and it is their job to filter, condense and digest all information. From these points all radio stations can be ordered off the ground, fighters and bombers sent out, anti-nightfall crews instructed and civilian Air Raid Wardens notified so sirens may be sounded.
Observation posts dot cur three consts. Some tower sixty feet into the sky, others are on lonely front porches. They are manned by people in every walk of life—bankers, lawyers, housewives and even inmates of prisons. Posts are reached by subway, streetcar, bus, auto, wagon, on the backs of horses.
mules, burros and on foot. On every mile of our coastline, every minute of every hour spotters are busy. The four Fighter Commands with headquarters near New York, Tampa, San Francisco and Seattle blanket each mile of seaboard from Maine southward and westward to California and all the way up to the very tip of Washington.
When Mrs. Smith, living in an old beach home on a lonely stretch of the New Jersey coast was on duty as Ground Observer of the Army Aircraft Warning Service, she said suddenly, "Something's breaking water out there." Nervously she grabbed the phone, "Army, Flash! This is Post X-Z One Two. Something that looks like a submarine has just come to the surface—about two miles to the southeast." The secretly located Army Information Center went into action immediately. Within minutes fighters and bombers roared over the Atlantic. An enemy sub was identified. Not long thereafter Coast Guard speedboats towed away a huge German mine.
At first only airplane movements were reported but following Pearl Harbor activities were expanded and spotter们 began reporting enemy submarines, ships in distress, plane crashes, fires, explosions. As a result enemy subs have been sunk, enemy aliens have been arrested and many lives have been saved.
