You can play a vital part in the defense of our country. Radar is a wonderful invention, but it cannot completely eliminate the chance of foreign aircraft slipping through undetected. To prevent the possibility of such an unwelcome surprise, the ground observer corps has been established.

This volunteer organization is composed of civilians who are spending a few hours of their spare time each week sky-watching. They have been taught how to do this job by Air Force personnel who also supervise the observer's time on duty.

Today there are 49 filter centers located in 27 states to which observation posts report. All these centers and posts are manned by volunteers. When the ground observer corps extends its coverage to the rest of the country, many more skywatches will be needed.

If you are a teenager or older, enroll now for service in the ground observer corps in your locality, write or phone your nearest Civil Defense Center today, or write to ground observer corps, Air Force, Washington 25, DC.
