hold of General Augustine Sandino.

Rusty" Rowell. reported on return
ing tonight.
The aviators hid 5000 feet in the
air behind clouds and dived down
when opportunity offered to drop
bombs, fire machine guns. and even
throw hand grenades. This is be-
lieved here TO be the first time hand
grenades ever were used from air
planes.
The squadron left Managua early
this morning for Ell Chipote, San
dino's mountain stronghold which is
itself 5000 feet above sea level. FL
Chipote is nearly 20 miles northeast
of Quilali, which marines recently
captured from the rebel general in
the costliest battle since they came
to Nicaragua.
Waiting above drifting clouds, the
planes would dart into clear atmo-
sphere, circle low enough for San
dino's positions to become distinctly
visible and drop bombs. They would
then sweep lower and strafe the
rebels with machine guns and hand
grenades.
These tactics were followed time
and again with what the squadron
considered satisfactorily disastrous
results.
Ssndino had two anti-aircraft guns
which kept peppering away at the
planes, which were also targets for
severe rifle fire. One plane was
struck twice BY bullets which almost
hit the pilot.
One observed stated that he saw
eight rebels killed.
Major Rowell had some engine
trouble and thought for a while he
might have to land in enemy terri
tory.
The airmen were elated over to

sidered the most severe strafing yet
