《Impact》Air Victory Over Japan, Final Issue, 1945
《衝擊》天火降臨-戰勝日本，最終號，民國34年《Black Water Museum Collections | 黑水博物館館藏》
IMPACT Sept.-Oct., 1945
-SWAN SONG-
This is the final issue of IMPACT. It is devoted entirely to the part played by the Army Air Forces in the war against Japan. No at- tempt has been made to give a full account of the achievements of the Navy, Marines and Ground Forces,
It is believed appropriate, in this swan song, identify those who have produced the magazine. IMPACT was brought to life in April, 1943, by Mr. (then major, later lieutenant colonel) Edward K. Thompson of LIFE magazine. He was succeeded in June, 1944, by a group of three editors: Lt. Col. Robert E. Girvin, formerly of the San Francisco CHRONICLE: Major Maitland A. Edey and Capt. Tom Prideaux, both formerly of LIFE. At war's end the editorial staff also included Capt. Peter B. Greenough, formerly of the Cleveland PLAIN DEALER: Capt. Gordon G. Macnab, formerly of the Associated Press and Capt. Hugh Fosburgh, formerly of LIFE. Layouts have been by Sgt. David Stech, formerly of the Popular Science Publishing Co.. and maps and art by Sgt. Jerry Cominsky, former New York free lance artist, and Sgt. Frank Chilton, formerly of the New York WORLD TELEGRAM. Capt. Carl E. Hill has served as executive officer. All else has been in the able hands of Miss Mary C. Morgan, formerly of the Montgomery, Ala., high school.
Throughout its life, IMPACT has been printed by Schneidereith & Sons, Baltimore, Md.
