scattered . detachmeat Of German
soldiers. He said thAt after land
ing he took . German prisoneg by
pretending that . compass vas .
bomb and then carried Z wounded
French officer back to safet.
| Denial OF the exploit by British
officers led to an investigation.
Chamberlain contended that the
failure Of the British flyers to cor
roborate bis story was because the
admission that an Amoricau of1enr
had used a British machine would
have resulted in their court mar;
tfal. Witnesses in Chamberlain

landed in a British plane on the
date mentioned In the records.

view Of the case remained in ar
rest. being confined in the District
