Shot Down
Jap Zero
Over kiska

SEATTLE, June Ale shot down
a Zero over Kiska!
Then, with one of his own en-
gines shot away and the other bad
lily damaged, he hedge-hopped over
icy waves to his base 200 miles
away and though himself injured,
helped in the rescue of his seriously
hurt mates after their Billy Mitch
ell crash landed.
Yet Seattle-born Staff Sergeant
DeWayne Durham, an army aerial
gunner, awarded the Air Medal for
his heroism in the adventure and
the Purple Heart for his wound, is
really reluctant to talk about it.
Written Account
However, he finally produced his
own written account of his expert
ence, which he said had been
cleared by his commanding officer.

off on mission to Kiska,' he wrote.

going to drop our bombs.
"Anti-aircraft fire is breaking
all around us. I suddenly smell
hydraulic fluid and wonder what
could have happened. BY swing
ing my gun turret around I can
see that the right engine has been
hit and smoke is pouring out the
engine
The Jap gunners can see that
we are hit and are doing their best
to riddle us. We finally get our

above the water.

bursts into flames and strikes the
water. I am certainly glad 1 shot
this Jap out of the air"
He Tells of Comrades
He declined to say what hap
pened Immediately after the crash.
He even declined to admit that he
took part in the rescue of his
wounded and injured mates, he
