Shipping.

his countTymcn for him WIS shown
when the young captain carrying the
flag Of tho aviation group marched
in the parade in Paris at the celehra-
ton OF the French national holiday
last July. He WIS greeted with wild
Outbur%ts Of cheering and covered
with flowers thrown by women and
children.
Captain Guyncmor first came into
public notice in February of last year
