Restricted So Far

Veteran English fighter pilots con- :

airplanes. The American fifers, for| ial Hl | their part, are pretty reserved. They| | have not had much in the way of

fighting experience so far and, when the conversation in the mess deals with some action or other, they listen with interest and say little.

When the discussion swings to planes| jp

and to flying, the Americans have a good deal to say on the subject and you notice that they are already beginning to say “petrol” when they mean “gas.” Thus far, the U.S.A .A.F. men have been restricted to training flights with R.A.F. comrades. According to present rules, they are not supposed to go on operations until they have completed a certain number of hours of desert flying and, when these are completed, they

Finally, he struck up an acquaintance with an Englishman of the R. A. F. who had also crash-landed in the jungle. T.T. Williams is safe but a little behind schedule. The American R.
