Marine at heart had the courage
and the morale that the patients in

superb! They never complain-they
only ask to be made fit for service
SO that they can go back and finish
this war and return to a country at

down." He was injured in the crash
and sent to an American hospital.
When he recovered and was dis
charged from the hospital, his first
thought was to rejoin his outfit sup
posedly at an air field near Oran
Without travel orders he was able to
bum ride" by air to this place,
only to find his squadron had start
ed back to England.
He was determined to catch up
with them and 'bummed" another
air ride to Gibraltar. He arrived
just too late but met another SER
geant in the same fix as himself, eX-
cept he was provided with travel
orders. They made these serve for
two and Sergt. Anderson was able
to complete his journey.
He now is with his old crew, one

bombers are always called by their

Covered Conveys to Africa.
Sergt. Anderson has seen plenty
of action, starting over the Bay of
Biscay in November when his squad
ron was serving as an umbrella over
conveys going from England to the
first North African operation. At
one time they were attacked by
seven German twin-engine fighters
three Of which were knocked down
They also took part in the first of the
big raids over Lille.
The first real trouble they encoun-
tered, Sergt. Anderson says, was in
the action over Bizerte when they
were badly shot up with flax. From
the fight deck he saw one of the
engines ablaze and tried to call the
pilot but the phone was out. So,
says Anderson, Il jumped from the
flight deck to the bomb bay and shut
the gas off"
Another engine was stopped but
was not on fire. So the four-en-
gined Liberator was flown back in
the dark $50 miles on two engines.
They could not quite reach base
before the gas gave out.
In Vegesack Raid.
Sergt. Anderson got back to Eng
land just in time to take part in
the big Vegesack raid of the 9th Air
Force. Probably few crews form
as compact a unit rs that of the
Big Dealer, with its inseparable
pal, the Ambrose, named by 1t. j.
R. Roach its pilot, from st. Ambroec
College at Davenport, Iowa.
Closely associated with these
planes is the Fighting Cock which
came back from a raid over Tripoli
with more than 600 holes in wings
and fuselage, caused both by flax
and bullets from attacking fighters
In her crew was Master Scrgt. Rob-
ert w. Slade of Norfolk. Va.
At one time, says Sergt. Slade
the situation looked absolutely
hopeless. Two fighters were on the
Fighting Cocks tail. She was on
fire. The electrical and hydraulic
systems had been shot out of opera
ton. The radio operator, tail gun
ner and waist gunner bailed out anc
landed safely but the rest of the
crew stood by, got the flames eX-
tinguished, and came down in the
desert without flaps or breaks ano
with part of the tail shot away
This crew, headed by Pilot E. A
Kit of New York City, has beer
together since first coming to Eng
land and has taken part in % opera
tions without casualties.
