EAGLE SQUADRON FIGHTER
STATION SOMEWHERE IN BRIT
AIN.-He was the toughest German
fighter I've ever run up against.
John Flynn, an Eagle pilot from
Chicago, and ! were on offensive
operations when we came over the
Germans airdrome in Occupied
France. He took off with five OF
his henchmen and they came BOOM
ing after us in Messerschmitts.
We engaged them Immediately,
fired at several of them, then re-
treated toward midchannel between
France and England because we
were outnumbered six to two. Four
of them took out after me. The
other two went for John.
Outmaneuvers First.
I found myself with two Jerrles
behind me, two others trying to flank
me from either side.
Nv violent maneuvering with
perspiration pouring from me |
managed to escape and positioned
myself behind one Of them.
We we're no more than 100 feet
off the sea. l got in terrlhc ourst
from my cannons. The Meser-
schmitt shuddered violently. flicked
over on his back and dived into the
sea where he made giant geyser
of water.
While this was going on l was
attacked by the super-fighter, the
vickedest adversary I've ever run
up against.
His tracers enveloped me. My
glass hood was disintegrated by
blast from one of his cannon shells.
He also damaged my rudder. There
was literally hail of lead and steel
all around me.
Fights Like Madman.
We spared with each other Just
like a couple of prizef1ghters in the
ring.
For 10 minutes We fought des-
perately. My ammunition gave out
and he was still on my tail. I did
everything knew. put my Spitflre
through every maneuver Of which
it was capable. And still he was
on my tail.
He fought like madman. AL.
this time I was trying desperately
to make the cliffs of Dover. once
I thought I had shaken him on. l
leveled out and to my amazement
found we practically were flying
in formation side by side.
I looked into his face from 80
feet. He had heavy shaggy eye
brows, q straight firm mouth and a
determined Prussian nose. He
looked at me with cold, steady gaze
There was no expression on his face
He looked like a killer to me. This
was tho first time I had ever seen
an enemy airman with whom I was
in combat.
Contest Resumed.
We resumed this contest to the
death. Looking back, don't see
how I ever got out of 1t. l could
taste in my mouth salty perspira-
ton from my face. Mile by mile,
dodging, twisting, diving and zoom-
ing I made my way toward the
English coast. My adversary fired
constantly.
Finally I was able to zoom up
right over the cliffs of Dover, with
nv antagonist still after me.
Then he apparently decided he
had better 60 back. He pulled into
a steep climb, turned and streaked
toward France.
For the rest of my homeward
journey I sat limp in the cockpit
was so exhausted l had to be hall
lifted from my plane when at last
I reached the base.
AS I sat and wearily talked II
over with my commanding officer
we decided this fighter was one ir
million. The average much
touted single fighter pilot OF the
Luftvaffe does not dare challenge
spitfire in the air, over France
or England.

others would continue to sputter. So they decided to make up in advance a cut-out interval signal, then go aloft to l5,000 feet or more and cut off their motors for a minute or two During the inter vals. the American fliers and the ground crews could listen for Ger man night bomber motors, and the ground crews could point their searchlights in the direction of the sound of the German motors.
 The new British system is based on the same idea, only today, ra- dio signals have replaced the sound ears and radio has like wise rendered the searchlight fin- ger unnecessary. The broadcast : ing motor makes it unnecessary for friendly aircraft to cut out their motors, and thus lose alti- tude. Searchlights are out of the picture, anyway Their beams can't go high enough to catch the in- vading bomber.

squadrons are equipped with them Without them, the various radio listening posts on the ground and in the air could not distinguish between their own friendly planes and the hostile motors of the enemy. The friendly motor broadcasts sig nals automatically at fixed inter- vals. The timing of these clicks tells the listener he's a friendly craft. Anti-aircraft guns stationed near the radio listening posts thus know, too, when to let go and when to hold their fire.
 It may be coincidence, or it may not, but this is simply radio yer sion of the old Hartney system, described by the famous flier ;n his recent Up and At 'Em!"
 Hartney, the World War com mander of such aces as Eddie Riekenhacker and Frank Luke, de- veloped the only night pursuit squadron in American aviation during the World War-one of the two then in existence. (The Brit ish had the other one) So far as is known, Hartney is the only World War flier who claims to have Gagged a German bomber at night.
