FIGHTING FIT
Ninety-six out of every hun- dred men serving in the Middle
of the R.A.F East Command are fighting fit. In fact, the sick list in the Desert is considerably less than in England. All possible precautions are taken to maintain the fitness of airmen engaged in the North African campaign.

That there is often a shortage of water in desert stations is, in its way, a blessing as it lessens mos- quito breeding. Each unit has its own facilities for mechanical and chemical sterilisation and puri- Acation of water.
If a man be taken seriously ill, he is rapidly taken to the Base Hospital in one of the many air- craft specially fitted to take fen stretchers. Should an operation be necessary, it is carried out in an air-conditioned "room" which is hermetically sealed to keep out blowing.sand.
Officers; and, men serving in the RAF. Middle East are having their blood tested, and an indica- tion of their blood group stamped on: their identification discs with International symbols; with this Information available, no time will be lost in making tests when blood transfusion is desirable. M Great care is taken of the eyes and special goggles are. provided to combat the flerce reflection and glare of the sun on the sand.
