thanks to the steadily increasing
effectiveness OF American fighter

when it came to air corps and
pursuit work, and he was the au-
thor of a number of books which
are training "musts" for the

His final message to young fiiers
at home, given to me in that final
interview, was:
Learn all you can so rs to
help us get this job done-there
Ii no time for playing against
the odds we are facing today"
1t was General George who con-
ceived and executed the daring
mission which sank Jap trans.
ports of Corregidor a few weeks
before he came to Australia.
Utilizing worn-out planes and
|makeshift invention he worked
out enabling fighters to carry
bombs, he directed the raids which
gave the japanese their greatest
surprise and defeat at that time.
OFFENSIVE MINDED
He was one of the most often
sive minded officers in the army
and his success as chief of air
operations in this area was evil
denced by the recent United
Nations victories over the skies
of Darwin and other advanced
bases.
One of the officers who made
the trip with George TO Australia
said the general was worth half
a dozen squadrons 70 this air force.

tactics apd the Philippines"

see the day when he could lead
his .fighte victoriously TO
Manila" the officer said. ~
Perhaps the best tribute paid 10
General George was that of a
member of General Macarthur S
staff, who said:
"In our eyes, General George
meant as much TO the United
