Helicopter Pilots
Lauded As Heroes
In ‘Hattie Taxi*
“Battle Taxi" turns the movie
spotlight on the unsung heroes of
the Air Rescue Service and the
work they did during the Korean
war,
Starring Sterling Hayden, the
new film will he shown Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday at the Scen-
ic Drive-In Theatre. Sharing the
ailing honors are Arthur Franz
and Marshall Thompson.
The film’s authenticity was as-
sured by the cooperation of the
Department of Defense, United
Slates Air Force, Ilcad<|uaitei»,
Air Rescue Service and the 52nd
Air Rescue Squadron.
Through the story of Captain
Rus Edwards, played by Sterling
layden, and his endeavors to keep
young, eager, hot-headed Lieuten-
ant Pete Stacy (Arthur Fianz’
role) in line, we catch the thrill-
ing, l»ehind-the-seer»es activities of
the flak-defying "Pinwhecl Pilots,”
bettor known as the K-59 Helicop-
ter squadron
At first the air Rescue squad-
ron was used to help pilots who
had run out of fuel or those that
j crashed at sea. But later it took
to rescuing those shot down in
combat behind enemy lines.
In “Battle Taxi," the helieoptor,
■ as piloted by Arthur Franz goes
a step further. In one of the pic-
| ture's most thrilling sequences,
Franz, after rescuing u pilot shot
down behind enemy territory, uses
his “chopt er” as a decoy to lure \
unemy planes to an area where
American planes engage them in j
battle.
"Battle Taxi" is a tribute to the j
war exploits of a service that dur-
ing peacetime has set records of
lescues at sea, in floods, snow
slides and plane crashes.

I business’ top performers.

“audition.”
