own inspection OF the wreck left him
far from convinced.
IF you say she'll fly, I'll fly her."
was Mr. Sharp's reply. He clambered
into the cockpit with Mr.. Soldinski.
They started the engines, TAXED
back onto the field. took a tentative
run along the strip and then Mr..
Sharpe took her off for a wide cir
cle She shudGered little on the
turns. The engines were rough and
spit out streaks of fame from the
exhaust stacks SO long that the
watchers on the ground thought for
a minute that she might be on fire.
But she held together. They landed,
picked up mechanics, and headed for
a refueling point just north of
Burma en- route to a safe port in
India, 1900 miles away.
Mr.. Sharp fondled that DC-3 like
mother would a newborn baby.
Even so, just off the field one of the
control wires snapped. They couldn't t
90 back. BY now the Japs would
certainly know there had been a
ship flying in the area and would be
over to investigate. Their only
chance was to go straight ahead.
The pilot throttled back until the
ship was on the ragged edge of a
stall, in the teeth of a 30-mile head
wind. But they kept going. 1t took
them 812 minutes to cover 9O4 miles
in 180 m.ph. plane!
But they made the field at an un-
disclosed base. There the mechanics
quickly ran through a new control
cable. Close inspection showed that
she was still all together. In fact
she looked so much like a real air.
plane that four Americans and three
Britishers who were stranded on the
field insisted on going along. They
were in such a bad way that Mr..
Sharp just didn't have the heart to
refuse them. He warned them of
what they might be in for.
Ship Flies High.
Mr.. Sharp kept the DC-3 well
above the clouds until he came
within range of the Jap lines, then
dove down into the undercast to
hide. The clouds were heavy, black.
Rain pelted down on the body like
sprays of bullets, ran down the
windshield in flood. But the en-.
glnes hummed steadily and the vi
bration tone of plane In normal
flight was baritone-and reassuring

mediately another ping" and an
other note. Then thousand pings
and a thousand discordant notes
screenched and whined and walled.
When their hearts stopped jump
ing and they got their breath back,
they realized what was happening.
The rain was washing off those can
vas patches and each uncovered
hole produced a new and shrill
note.
Just before sunset Mr.. Sharp's
heart jumped into his throat. Off to
the left he sighted a feet of six
planes. At first they were only dots
in the sky but they couldn't help but
see him. Second by second he
watched them grow larger. A Jap
patrol. And as luck would have it
he was in so miles OF air without
a cloud in it.
On and on they came until they
were close enough for the badly
frightened crew aboard the trans
port to read their identification
signs. Then, inexplicably, the Japs
wheeled about. in tight formation
and streaked back into the sunset.
Less than two hours later, Mr..
Sharp was circling the Indian air
field, bringing his treasure plane
into that port Of safety In the dim
marker lights he could see forms
running out of the shacks. When
he landed and rolled up to the line
every hand on the field was there to
welcome him.
Japs Still Hunting Plane.
"Whistlin' Willie, what've yuh got
there" an Army major screamed at
him over the last throbs of the en-
gines. What did you radio for?
We could hear you comm for the
last so miles! What'n hell ?"
Well, maybe the Japs did run out
of gas for those three days. Or,
maybe that flying calliope-that
| 2,400-h.p. banShee-had something
to do with clearing the Burma skies
and getting the supplies into China's
heroic army back there in the jun
gle covered hills Of Burma.
Capt. Sweet would be the last one
to say. But, he'll tell you, proudly,
that in those three days they set a
record for flying sorely-needed sup
plies over the hump and into the
hands OF the waiting Chinese.
And as far as he knows, the Japs
are still prodding about the whole
countryside around that little field
at Namyung, trying desperately to
locate that Pan American trans
port" that TOTO gave them medals
for destroying.

Big Transport Reaches Airport
Despite 5 ,247 Bullet Holes
Pon-Americon Ship Forced Down in Burmo
Is Patched Up After Blasting by Jap Flyers

| Before they could get back, how
ever, the Japs had found their tar
get, Strcaking out of the dawn, five
Mitsui fighters lined up, one be-
hind the other, and machine-gunned
the helpless hulk until their ammu-
nition was exhausted. They left her
riddled with bullet holes, but thanks
to Capt. Sweets foresight in drain
| ing the tanks she couldn't catch fire
A few hours later, and again early
in the afternoon, other fleets of Japs
came over for target practice.
With his last bullet the Jap squad
ron leader almost rolled his wheels
on the ground as he made his in
spectior. The way he zoomed up
into the sky told Capt. Sweet and
his watching crew that the Japs
were satisfied that here was an
other Pan American transport that
never would fly again.
The ship was shambles. Normal
ly no one would ever think of trying
to put such a wreck together again.
But in China airplanes are precious.
Capt. Sweet got the radio set in
working order, raised Chungking
and reported the extent Of the
damage
Before dark that same night the
repair crew arrived, just as the
coolies had dragged the wreck off
the field and under the sheltering
branches of clump of bamboo
trees. Zed Soldinski (Scranton, Pa
CNAC's maintenance wizard,
viewed the handiwork of the Japs.
The engines were hard hit. Two pro-
peller blades were gone. All the glass
was blown out. The instrument
panel was shot away. The tires were
punctured in dozen places. Control
wires were severed. Fuel tanks were
like sieves. From wing-top to wing
tip, from nose to tail, they counted
3,247 holes in her.
Speed Was Necessary.
With daylight only a few hours
away, they had no time to feel sorry
for themselves. The Japs might
be back any minute. Chinese SOL
diers, holding off the Japanese in
the jungle mountain country of
Northern Burma were starving. That
ship was needed-needed badly. The
crew went to work. New propeller
blades we're mounted, new cylinders
and fittings were put in place, new
hydraulic brakes, new fuel tanks
new control cables were installed. An
altimeter, turn-and-b indica-
tor. a compass. an air speed meter
| four of the ships usual Al instru-
ments-were fitted to makeshift
panel.
But how to patch the holes in her
skin? They had brought enough
metal along to cover the holes on the
vital control surfaces. But that left
nearly 5000 others. A canvas avn
ing borrowed from the missionary s
garden, a jug of homemade Chinese
glue, would do the trick. Little cloth
patches-3,00O of them-were cut
out, pasted over the bullet holes and
covered over with dope"
Japs Fail to Return.
Fortunately the Japs had done
such a good strafing job that they
didn't bother to come back the next
day. And by nightfall the CNAC
Evening star., 1943-04-22

For three days and three nights,
incredibly, the skies over the wealth

clear of Japs. For three days and
three nights the heavy laden, un-

back and forth over the hump from
India with nothing to worry about

Quick inspection showed that the
extent of the engines damage was
beyond the ability of the flight
crew to manage. They'd have to get
help.
Meanwhile, the ship was in danger

mud, the crew and all of the 81
passengers sweated and tugged but
couldn't bulge it when they tried
to roll 1t off the field into some
nearby brush. So Capt. Sweet did
the next best thing. While he
drained the gas and oil from all the
tanks he set his passengers to work
gathering twigs, leaves, branches
and grass to camoufage the ship as
best he could. He sent radio to
CNAC's headquarters at Chung
king for help. He took his passen-
gers into the nearby village, where
he put them up with the local mis-
sionary, then started out to enlist
an army of coolies to help them roll
the ship off the field.

HOOVER PLAYS
 PRICE FIXING

Washington. April l6-(UP)-For- mer President Herbert Hoover criti- cized present food control and price fixing last night as too complex and productive Of "strangulation of pro- ducers," contending that methods were simpler and more direct when he was food administrator in World War I.
 Hoover, after addressing the Re- publican food study committee, told reporters that in the First World War i've regulated prices at the grain elevators and the livestock yard, and then extended control up through the trades toward the re- taller. It was much simpler and there was much less machinery than under the present system, which re- verses the process and extends con- trol backward from the retailer.
 Hoover acknowledged that some control measures now in force are better than those of the last war but declined to elaborate.
