“Now you see it – Now you don’t … a Machine Shop in a Burma Jungle!” A ZERO strikes … and one of our bombers is down in the wilds of Burma, badly shot up. Repair parts must be had at once. By land routes, it takes weeks or even months to get help in. But there’s one chance … an S.O.S. for a flying machine shop. And presto! There it is! A Curtiss Commando, equipped with a complete machine shop … from heavy presses to welding equipment … a huge power plant … spare parts … and a crew of mechanics. In record time, all four engines are purring smoothly. The bomber is ready for another blast at the enemy. And the Commando is off on another rescue flight “somewhere” in the China-Burma-India theater. ….. 1945 Curtiss Wright Ad, A5496. 19451015
