ALLIE D HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN NORTH AFRICA,
July 11.-(P) - American
and British airborne troops,
striking back at the Axis in
the same manner in which
Germany once terrorized her
foes, landed in Sicily by para
chute and glider hours before
the invasion by Allied ground
forces, it was disclosed offici-
ally today.

self, huge air transports car
rying smudge-faced American
and British paratroopers and
towing troop-filled British
gliders roared over the island,
reaching the vicinity of their
objective before being spot
ted by anti-aircraft gunners.
Planes Get to Targets
Despite the flax barrages, the
transport command pilots maneu-
vered their big planes to their
targets, the gliders were cut loose
and they scared to detectives IN
ft,a caste n sector of the invasion
zone. The parachute troops balled
out over targets to the west.
There the airborne units, some
of which had been used early IN
the North African campaign and
all of which had been speclflcally
trained for at least year, moved
swiftly to consolidate positions be-
hind the enemy's beach defenses.
An official announcement today
said these aerial forces achieved
success with negligible losses.
It was the largest operation OF
its kind since the German capture
of Crete, but far less costly than
the Nazi aerial invasion OF two
years ago.
While the Friday night assault
resulted in insignificant losses to
the Allies, the Crete operation
cost the Germans 1Oo transport
planes and the lives of thousands
of specialized troops.
It was the second large scale
attack for the American troops
transport command, which MADE
its first big flight from England
to Algeria last November.
AS the seaborne ground units
smashed ashore in landing bar
ees, Allied warplanes maintained
what was described by a head
quarters communique as "vigilant
patrols" over Sicily, covering not
only the invasion areas but strlS-
ing at the enemy's coast strong
roints and inla-d communications

BRITISH BATTERY
COMES TO DAVIS
Special Unit OF Royal Ar
tillery To Work AT Lo-
cal Camp

A special battery of the Royal
Artillery, British Army, arrived at
Camp Davis early Sunday morn
ing on the first stop of contem-
plated coast to coast tour of mill
tary establishments in all parts Of
the United States. Designated as
the First Composite Anti-Aircraft
battery, the British unit will dem
onstrate methods of training, drill
and tactical employment by the
British Army, and exchange ideas
on anti-aircraft matters.
While at Camp Davis, the bat
terry will be guest Of the Anti-Alr-
craft Artillery school with Briga-
der General Bryan L. Milburn,
school commandant, as host. Brit
ish officers, who inspected their
area with General Milburn, ex-
pressed themselves as we'll pleas
ed with facilities.
Sent to the United States by the
British War Office at the request
OF the War Department, the unit
consists of II officers and 329 other
ranks, most of whom served in
; Great Britain during the protract-
| ed air attacks on the British Isles
4 during the past three years. Sew
eral of the officers, non-commis-
stoned officers and men have seen
| service with British anti-aircraft
units in such theaters as the Mid
die East, Malta and India.
After arriving early in the morn
ing by train from the port Of dis
embarkation, the visitors had a
long sleep. After a short forma-
ton they were taken to nearby
Sears Landing, anti-aircraft firing
point for Camp Davis, to enjoy an
afternoon of swimming in the surf
of the Atlantic. That constituted
the program for their first day at
an American camp.
The British unit is not a picked
body. 1t represents cross sec
ton of the British population and
is drawn from all parts OF the
British Isles. They are typical
British subjects coming from all
of the population who have in the
past four years taken up arms.
Few, if any, of the officers and
men are professional soldiers.
While in the United States the
British battery, commanded by
Major T. c. Metcalf, will be ac-
companied by an escort detach-
ment of the United States Army,
proved by the Anti-Aircraft Com
mand, Army Ground Forces.

is that the parts can be arranged in
shorter or longer lengths so that
almost any weight, within reason,
can be accommodated. .....
Most American collapsible bridges
do not have this advantage, and
different parts must be used in ac-
cordance with the immediate re-
quirements. The advantage of the
American bridges is that they are,
on the whole. simpler and they are
more advantageous for spanning
wide streams. Eventually a combi-
nation of the two principles may be
worked out.
The small, complex parts of the
brodge may be lost unless great care
is exercised, and they are difficult to
put together in the dark. Working
in the dark is one of the major
objectives of the present American
training in bridging ravines in the
English countryside. The men are
quickly reaching the point where
they can put up such bridges with
their eyes shut.

been little training In its use. An
essentially British invention, it
has not been very suitable for use
in the terrain of the United States.
Over here, however, it is probably
superior to any of the American
designs.
The essential principle of the
bridge is that it always Is kept
anchored and sustained by its own
weight on the side of the chasm
where it is being constructed. Take,
for example, at 35-foot-wide ravine.
Two or three spans Of the bridge,
of steel construction. are put to-
gether rapidly. Then the first span
is pushed out over the edge. It is
kept suspended there by the over
balancing weight Of the two other
spans behind it, More spans are
constructed until there is enough
balancing weight for the second span
to be pushed over.
In this way the entire chasm can
be bridged without any need Of
getting men on the other side, as
is ESSENTIAL with all American types.
Once the gap is closed men must be
sent across to anchor the bridge
securely before any great weights
can be sustained. Another great
advantage Of this type in warfare,
