Time flies on. A span of 5,000 years is represented by the old and the new in this picture of a U.S. Army Air Transport Command plane soaring above the ancient pyramds of Egypt. This ACT ship is one of an unprecedented fleet flying urgent war supplies from the U.S. across the Atlantic and the Continent of Africa to strategic battle zones. The pyramids, built in 3500 BC, are each 450 feet height. The desert in the background sweeps for more than 1,000 miles across Africa.
