to listen to the short wave broadcast of the American Eagle Squadron from London, England.

You see, They had a reason. Their 27-year-old sen, Vernon, is one of the members of the squadron which has been giving such valuable assistance to the R. A. F. They always held a hope that they someday might hear their son’s voice. Tomorrow night that wish will come true when Vernon will be included among 21 American flying aces who will have an opportunity to speak to their families and friends in the United States via short wave on the Mutual broadcasting system. It will be carried here on WIBC at 7 p. m.

An American Saga

The story of Vernon's flying career is simply that of a red-blooded American youth who wanted wings and set out to get’ them. “Ever since I can remember, Vernon has wanted to fly,” his mother, Mrs. ‘Elizabeth Boehle, said yesterday. “He took a deep interest in model airplane building and for 12 years has built one after another, enterLing them in meets all over the country,” she said. . “He. received recognition from Washington twice for his planes,” she added proudly.

House of Trophies

The modest little! home of the Boehle’s at Edgewood is filled with mementos of Vernon's achievements. The living and dining rooms are loaded down with every type of trophy imaginable. : The top of the Boehle piano is covered with trophies and pictures of Vernon. ° When Vernon was old enough, he acquired his own airplane. He spent most of his time in that plane, Mrs. Boehle recounted. Vernon has had but one narrow escape since he took up flying. That was a little over a year ago when his motor failed him on a flight over the city. Realizing that he had to land in a "hurry, Vernon skillfully maneuvered his plane and brought it down on the bumpy terrain of the circus grounds at Southeastern and Keystone aves,

Trained in Tulsa

In service since last September, Vernon received his training in Tulsa, Okla. and left last March for England. Vernon was graduated from St. Catherine’s parochial school and Southport high school. His father is a tool and die maker for the Link Belt Co. and he has two brothers, Wilbur, who lives in Lafayette, and Anthony, an employes of Allison’s.’
