until about minute after my para

parachute began to wobble and threat
ened to collapse.
THE enemy flyer drew a circle, then
came back, despite the arches (high
angle guns) whose shells were menac-

Il tried to use my revolver, hoping
could land one bullet before plung-
Ing, but l was hampered by the har-
hess. The coward deliberately grinned
at my first shot. Then he fired again

1t had been cut. Just then shell
burst near and drove the plane away.
