'IT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF YOU'—
Dodging Enemy Shells In B-29 Is No Laughing Matter -
This story was written by Jim Lucas while flying high over North Korea, through antiaircraft fire part of the way.
‘By JIM G. LUCAS, Scripps-Howard Staff Writer IN A B-29 OVER NORTH KOREA, Oct. 7—There are several interesting theories about antiaircraft fire, or flak, as the fliers call it. One school says you needn't worry if you can see or hear it because if it's going to get you you won't be able to do either. Another group says flak you can see and hear is bad. They argue that if it's that close, the guy on the ground has the seat of your pants in his sights. The next one is apt to be right on the target.. A third theory is mine. I say that any fiak within 10 miles of your plane is no good because it scares the hell out of you.

He might be discussing the series. “It’s good,” he adds, “when they go above you. | If that had been 50 feet below we'd have had some | holes in this old bomb buggy.” Now with a shudder I.remember that the bomb doors are open. Capt. Bob Garner, the pilot, hasn't taken his eyes off sthe panel. By now he has the Eight Ball out of range. We'd been under fire for only a matter of minutes. It had seemed like hours. The black puffs are behind us now. Bob relaxes enough to grin. “They were shooting at us off those bridges,” he remarks to Jules. “Those guns weren't there yesterday.”

“They ever hit anything?” I ask. “They hit one last week right about here,” he replies. “The pilot radioed he was going to put her down at sea, but he didn’t make it. We counted five chutes going down but we haven’t heard from those boys since. They're probably in Moscow right now getting the old NKVD treatment.” Our job is to patrol the area, blasting anything coming in from Red China. It's been pretty thin pickings. Before we left Japan we had reports of three big convoys between Antung, Red China's port of entry, and Sinanju. But it took us four hours to get here and apparently they had moved on.
