Abstract

en_US
This pamphlet, 7¼ x 5, is second in a series. The first, from the same year, presented The Sad Tale of George W. Noble and Mugger Murch. This number presents the story of Sack-Time Charlie. Charlie as a civilian had ballooned through getting no exercise, eating too much, and drinking coffee, soft drinks, and worse. Basic training and flying school shaped him up, and he became an ace. But he did not attend to exercise and to learning how to swim. Though he downed many Japs, he began to balloon again, got downed by a zero, was beaten to the raft by the now-downed Jap who had downed him, and was lucky to be saved. Charlie really learns his lesson when he draws the assignment of accompanying the captain on shore leave but cannot row the boat when the motor conks out. The captain, who has had to do the rowing, soon assigns Charlie training, various exercises, and swimming lessons. This time, it all takes, and Charlie shows that he really is a smart cookie. Navaer 00-80L-2. Believe it or not, this publication, like the first number, is marked restricted! If there is some top-secret information here, I certainly missed it!
