The brain o/ a human-machine weapon system. As the official description puts it: "China:<br />

Operations. Men plotting the course of 14th Air Force planes in the fighter control section of the<br />

312th Fighter Wing, 14th Air Force at a base somewhere in China. Note aircraft status board<br />

in background. 14 August 1944." War is no longer a matter of courage, of morals, of ideology,<br />

or of luck, the military planners hope .It is a matter of technology wedded to humans in complex<br />

systems. The control of information is crucial. USAAF files, NASM Library, photo 2188.<br />
