The Western Desert Air Transport Service has carried out valuable work in the North
The Western Desert Air Transport Service has carried out valuable work in the North African campaign. They facilitated every stage of the advance, bringing up a constant stream of troops and vital supplies. The Air Transport Service uses several types of aircraft from Bombays and medium transports, such as Hudsons, to the giant D.C.3s. Pilots and crews of these transport aircraft are briefed like bomber crews, and they operate to a carefully prepared schedule. Their work takes them to within a few miles of the enemys positions. Aircraft which have flown fresh troops forward often return with the wounded, and some of the planes are specially fitted to take stretcher- cases. It is a distinctly hazardous business, but the Air Transport always fulfils its unofficial motto " We deliver the Goods!".
