sent squadron after squadron OF
fighters over the coastal areas of
occupied France and Belgium to-

One Eagle pilot officer named
Taylor, whose home address was

wounded in the leg by a machine
gun bullet. 1t was his first op-
irrational flight.
Taylor made perfect landing
at his home base and tried to dis
miss a waiting ambulance.
"There's nothing wrong with
me- he said. Physicians said later
he would not be kept long from
flying.
German air activity over Eng
land today was limited to the flight
of one plane which bombed a point
on the south cast. Little damage
and no casualties were reported.
It was the RATS - and the
American Eagle squadron s-sec~
ond successive night raid on the
