    1942 WAR-TIME Good Year Ad - On the World's Fastest "Tricycles" this clever tube insures safer landings. Many of America's fastest new fighters and bombers are equipped with a tricycle landing gear, built with a full-sized wheel under the nose. It permits pilots to fly these "hot" ships in with tails up and land at speeds once thought impossible. But to avoid crack-ups it is essential that the airplane be protected against the dangers of nosewheel deflation. This is accomplished by a clever Goodyear development known as the Dual-Seal inner tube, embodying the same principle as the famous Goodyear LifeGuard. This tube has two air compartments. It is so constructed that, if the casing and outer tube are punctured, the inner section expands and fills out the tire to normal size. Even if the puncture occurs on the take-off, this double tube retains enough pressue to insure a safe, smooth-rolling landing after a long flight. Today the Dual-Seal tube is protecting American airplanes and pilots, operating all over the world on makeshift desert and jungle fields. Before Pearl Harbor, tricycle landing gear was in prospect on our commercial air transports, too. Now this must wait until victory comes. But Goodyear will be ready for these great new airliners of a better world-ready with airplane tires, tubes, wheels and brakes brought to new perfection in the crucuble of war.
