...pebbly island in the Yangtze which serves Chungking as an airport. Up through streets half-bombed, half-bedecked with banners & posters the Chinese drove their guest. As if purposely accentuating his sympathy for China, the Japanese sent over 18 bombers that night. For two hours Pandit Nehru sat snug in a dugout talking world affairs with China's leaders...
...slice: $15,080,261. Old-established Wright Aeronautical Corp. and Pratt & Whitney (already fat with Army contracts) came off second and a poor third (Wright: $8,975,317; Pratt & Whitney $953,810).
