Japanese flyers who attempt to sur
render after being shot down are
killed by their colleagues, the Mel
bourne radio said last night in re-

Australian fighter pilot. Columbia

broadcast.
THE pilot. who has served with
distinction in Libya, confirms the
thought that Japanese are killing
their own men If they bail out Of
planes" the broadcast said.
In a recent dog-f1ght over the
New Guinea area, this pilot was
flying an Australian Kittyhawk
fighter when Japanese Zero was
shot down into the sea in flames" "
Then the broadcast quoted the
pilot as saying:
Some minutes later we saw the
Japanese pilot swimming toward
shore from the wrecked plane. An
other Zero Immediately dived and
machine-gunned the struggling
pilot, who disappeared beneath the
waves.
The Japanese are apparently
going to desperate lengths to pre-
vent captured pilots from giving any
information that would be valuable
later"
