Combat
Pilot But 20
Years of Age

DETROIT, Nov. Is - (R -
The ideal combat pilot, accord
ing to Col. Sam r. Harris, di-
rector of flying safety for Unit
ed States Air Forces, is about
20 years old.
"At %, a mans reflexes start
slowing up and we begin to re-
gard him as too old for combat
flying" Col. Harris declared.
Here to address a luncheon Of
the Economic Club, Col. Harris
said in an interview today:
THE boy of 20 isn't afraid of
anything. He hasn't been around
long enough to learn fear or
caution. The lads who give us
the most trouble in training are
the lads who become the best
combat pilots.
"Our kids can flying anything
with wings on it. Our job is to
get them to fly it right side up"
Col. Harris said the United
States has the lowest accident
rate in flight training of any
nation - and even allied air.
men who are training in this
country at our bases have a
higher rate.
The percentage of accidents
caused by human error, he said,
has not changed a fraction in
years. About 30 per cent of all
army flying accidents are caus-
ed by pilot error, mostly attribu-
table to carelessness. OF the
remainder, about z per cent are
the result of airplane structur-
al failure and about 7 per cent
stem from engine failure.
Our engines don't shed their
wings, though, which is more
than you can say for Jap and
German fighter planes" Col
Harris said.

in Malaga and Luzon, that

refers to stragglers in combat.
There is very little struggling

waters around him, and when ne
bobbed up to the crest of a wave
he sometimes could see one Of
the lifeboats tossing around,
looking for survivors. He
thought of his wife again, and
wondered IL he'd ever get back
to Chicago to see his yet-unborn
baby.
Nearly two hours later he
was picked up in the ships rs
foot motor launch. Built for Is
passengers, she was now packed
with IS. Her sunwales were 50
near the water the men dared
not start her motors.
All night they stood by,
watching their merchantmen
burn, treating their wounded.
Those who could manned the
oars to keep q safe distance from
the ship. No one talked.
At dawn they spied the red
sail of a second lifeboat. Just
as they came UP to her, the SUBJ
marine surfaced and delivered
the coup de grace to the still
burning ship. Then it came ov-
er to the lifeboats. On its deck
were two survivors whom it had
fished from the sea.
The subs crew was young,
ill-kempt, unshaven. All were
pallid. The sub threw the boats
a line and made them fast. A
young German went to the ma
chine gun, let his fingers dance
pointedly on its grips. But he
did not aim at the boats.
The U-boat commander did
not speak English, but a junior
officer did-perfectly. He asked
for particulars about the tor
pedoed merchantmen. He was
given the information. You don't
answer coyly with a machine
gunner drumming on the grips.
QUIZZED BY GERMANS
Lieut.. Bailey mostly kept
quiet. The Germans were look
ing for him, but Bailey's khaki
shirt and shorts were without
insignia and he had lost his hat
in the sea. The crew told the
Nazis that he had drowned.
The Nazis gave the survivors
some German cigarettes and
four gallon tin cans. These later
turned out to be black bread un-
fit for human consumption. The
survivors held up one of the
seriously burned crewmen. The
U-boat produced some salve.
Then the subs navigating Of
ficer looked at a chart and gave
the lifeboats ! course. He said
1t would take them to British
Guiana. Actually, as they later
learned, it would have led to
neutral French Guiana-and in
ternment for the duration.

ly in German: Proceed immed.
lately" The sub cast off and
submerged.
The conversation had been
completely matter of fact
throughout.
When the sub disappeared,
the survivor-load was equalized
between the two lifeboats.
There was no wind, SO the mo-
tor launch started towing
Within a few hours they came
upon the third lifeboat.

crew were missing, three OF the
Navy. Loads and provisions
were again equalized, leaving
sixteen men to a boat. Then the
boats split up, hoping to in
crease the chance Of sighting .
passing ship or plane. Two Of
the lifeboats were picked up.
The third is still missing.
Three of the Navy crew owed
their lives to q CHANGED dash
through the wall of flame that
separated their forward gun sta
ton from the rest of the ship.
Their companions, refusing the
dash as suicidal. had persisted.
Lieut.. Bailey figured it would
take q minimum of two weeks
to reach land. He rationed wat
er to last month-two ounces
each three times q day.
The equatorial heat was al
most unbearable. They rugged up
the boat cover as an awning and
rain trap, but the first rain
merely soaked up the salt on the
awning and they couldn't drink
1t.
Food presented no rationing
problem. The cracker-like sea
rations were too dry to chew
without more water than was
available. The canned concen-
trates were sweet and made ev-
cry one thirstier. So, although
there was officially a meal of
half a can of rations every eve
ming at six, hardly any one ate.
The matted milk tablets were
the best.
They set up six-hour watch
es. But off watch there wasn't
room to stretch. A few swan to
get out the kinks, but Lieut..
Bailey's hands were too burned
for him to get overheard and
back again.
Talk was scarce. They won
dered if their radio got off an
SIS before the antennae top
pied. AS days wore on, tempers
frayed. And there was the end
less, unbearable heat. And the
constant thirst.
They hoped to see a patrol
| plane. None appeared. Occas-
ionally bright spots dancing on
the horizon would look like
lights of boat, only to turn out
to be stars.
Five days went by. There
was almost no talking now. One
man was on the verge of crack
ing up. The burned seaman was
in a bad way.
The evening of the sixth day
brought low point. They'd in
creased water rations the day
before, figuring they might be
half way. Now, knowing they
weren't, they cut them back
again.
THEIR LUCKY STAR"
At eight o'clock in the eve
ming Of the sixth day light was
sighted, well ahead and to the
north. They shot up a flare, but
there was no excitement. 1t
might just be another star. But
for the first time since they set
sail they started their motor
again.
They had t, get within 500
yards of the lights before they
were sure.
Then mighty cheer. 1t was
neutral ship. When they came
along side, most of the men were
too weak to climb aboard. They
had to be hoisted up the side.
The rescue ship offered warm
drinks and brandy. But Lieut..
Bailey and his men had thirst
for only one drink that night
water.
