Although infra-red was developed primarily for the military and to guide and track missiles, detect camouflage and take aerial photographs through fog, other uses are being found for it almost every day; e.g., it can be used to scan giant electronic computers for overheated circuits that might soon burn out or malfunction.

An aerial circus partly narrated by Flying Ace "Pappy" Boyington, in which acrobats skip about on the wings of planes in flight, board a flying aircraft from a moving car, and tell all about it while falling through the air some 6,000 ft. before pulling the parachute ripcord...
