British American World War GEM

voted in some way to advance better
international relations, especially

and the Dominions.
The property will be owned and
managed by the National Trust for
Places of Historic Interest or Natu-
raj Beauty Foundation, under which
people can put estates in trust for
descendants subject to limited public
use and avoid Britain's heavy in
heritance taxes. Lord Lothian, late
Ambassador to United States and
the Astor's close friend, also did
this before his death.

We picked the biggest carrier and
headed for it.
The minutes our bomb bays
opened the ack-ack started coming
up. 1t was fine shooting, and the
Japs must have good rangeflnders
because the first shots were right at
our altitude.
The Jap ships started their fran
tic escape maneuvers but our pattern
of bombs blanketed carrier. We
got at least one definite hit on the
port bow of the carrier and saw
flame and smoke OF the explosion.
Even in the midst of the attack
we have time to chuckle over our
bombardier who coolly remarked
over the planes radio: My God,
that anti-aircraft looks beautiful

but it also looked dangerous, so we
hea ded out and away.
"A few Zeros came up at us but
we lost them quickly due to our
speed and their faintheartedness.
we streaked for our base and
found that Midway had been
bombed while we were out there.
We expected the Japs would come
back, so we loaded as rapidly as
possible and got back into the air
and sped back toward the battle
line.
