T HE LIVES of too many of our men have been lost in this war 10OUI own guns because of lack of appreciation of the impcr anee01 identiJicaiioll. Our own vessels have been attacked, and aircraltand small surface craft lost because of a breakdown in recognitionand Identification,Navy and Army emphasis on recoqnitlon has cut the loll of our

own men and material, iaken by our own guns, tremendously.But recognltion can't do the whole job, Particularly when it comesto ilirplanes. They fly 100 fast, and the danger of letting a hostileplane slip in on a ship or shore position 1:5100 great, for the menwho man the guns depend on rec:ogni1ion alone. What's moreimportant to you as a flier. the chances of your gelling shot downby "friendly" guns are far too gTea.tfor you to want to depend onthe other fellow's recognizing you,It's up to the plane to identify TIself. 11it's friendly, it must act

lrienc1Jy. That's the logical way of doing it anyway, now isn't it?
