In this whole narrative of his ex-

had not told me single story Of

tell me about the times he had
been shot down, because those were
stories on him, and 1t certainly
never occurred to him that there
was anything heroic about his
bringing in damaged planes when
he could have saved his skin any
time by landing in enemy territory
and saying good-by to the war. Or
by jumping out in his parachute
again.
Not from him, but from others in
his squadron, learned that he had
four confirmed planes to his credit,
one of them bomber, and that he
had probably shot down as many
more that were not confirmed. I
saw him once again, and this time
I reproached him for not telling me
at least about the bomber. This
is what he said:
