last July 4 and attacked objectives ;

in the Netherlands.

Sergt. Golay’s plane returned tol

The 22-year-old Golay arrived here Sunday. He told reporters he was going home for a visit “as soon as I can.” The Americans sharin their mis{fion at 8 a. m., accompanied by R. A. F. crews. in identical American planes but without fighter escort. With Sergt. Golay in his plane were Capt.: Charles C. Kegelmamn, El Reno, Okla.; the pilot, 2d Lieut. Randall M, Dorton Jr., ‘Washington, D. ©, bombardier, and Sergt. Bennie B. Cunningham, Tupelo, Miss., the other gunner. . The night before Maj. Gen. Dwight D, Eisenhower, commanding American forces in the European theater, had given them a pep talk.

‘A Little Fighting’

“He told us we were going to do a ‘little fighting,” Sergt. Golay gaid. “Well, he made no mistake.” The objective was a German airdrome at de Kooy. Anti-aircraft guns ringing the field opened up on the low-flying Americans. “Tracer bullets were flying at us from every direction when I saw a propeller come sailing past,” he said. “It was propeller. It had been shot Off and the starboard engine had caught fire.” |

Fldor Bulges Up

But the bombardier placed a bomb in the middle of the German gun emplacements and Sergt. Golay himself put one gun battery out of action “and Bennie got another.” Shortly after the propeller flew plait “there was a terrific noise and a shock and the floor of the plane bulged up in the middle,” Sergt. Golay said. “My legs were numb . and I thought sure I'd been shot. Afterwards, of course, I realized we had hit the ground.” “How Capt. Kegelman ever pulled that plane up I will never know,” the gunner said. “But we were still moving.” :
