THRILL OF
NO. | ACE
BY JOHN l.. SPRINGER
APP Features Writer

NEW YORK-The most exciting
experience of Americas No / fly
ing ace Capt. Joe Foss was the time
he was shot down at sea and saved
from death-because he couldn't
swim
The curly-haired, 28-year-old
Marine captain, who has knocked
out 26 planes to equal Eddie Rick
enbacker's record in World War 1,
didn't let the experience stop him.
Five days later he went up again to
shoot down three more Zeros. And
he has since learned to swim.
Joe is back from the Solomons
for a rest at his home in Sioux
Falls, S. D., where his mother and
brother now live. Then he's going
to visit war plants to boost morale
and later-he hopes-go back for
more hunting. But as for his near
est scrape with death
ut started on a routine flight
of the eight planes in our Flying
Circus from Henderson Field" Joe
recalls. Il was the flight leader,
but was last in line when he start
ed going down to strafe Jap ship
ping

plane, and decided to get him. AS
l moved in, I sort of visualized
what 1 thought would happen-like
boxer in the ring, waiting for an
opening.
L guess I must have thought too
long, because I misjudged his
speed, giving the rear gunner a
chance to cut loose with his free
guns.
"One of his bullets swished past
the hood-an inch from my face
and into the windshield. 1 could
see other holes all over my plane.
1t took only a couple of seconds but
got sore and made up my mind
l was going to get that guy.
Il turned back and shot him
down. Tier reconnaissance
plane came along, and 1 shot him
down, too
Joe grinned. The other planes
in my flight were all gone by now,
and as I reached home the motor
started missing.
Il was off my course, 60 or 80
miles from Henderson Field. There
was only one thing to do. I saw
an island in the distance, but the
prospects of reaching it were none
too good.
Il glided the plane to water
landing. finally got out.
But 1 couldn't swim much, and
it was getting dark. That island
was about 5 miles away and I Won
dered how I was ever going to
reach it,"
1t was long waiting out there
in the ocean, and growing darker.

My swimming wasn't very good.

Finally a voice said clearly,
Let's look over here
Il yelled out, Yea, right here
1T was an Australian saw-mill
operator with some of his assist
ants on the islands, who had seen
me come down"
The Australian meant safety for
Joe. But If he had been a good
swimmer, he might have reached
the island
Exactly where I was aiming"
said Joe, there was stagnant water,
just filled with crocodiles"
