lazy 8s," said the pilot.
No airplane chauffeur, we had had
little experience in the nose of big
bombers. They handle like speed boats,
fast on the turn, keenly responsive to
the controls, and as alert as cat at
night. A pull back on the wheel and
the bomber scared a thousand feet
higher, on an invisible string, into the
higher air. A slight turn and push on
the foot-rudder controls and she turned,
wings at an angle to the ground. Almost
automatically she Strengthened out.
The airplane flies itself. 1t needs little
human control, and it scars through the
air at 240 miles an hour majestically and
apparently impregnable. You loved the
deep, reassuring rumble of the engines
out there on the wing.
The copilot reached up and touched
gadget, then another. The port inboard
engine stopped, and the prop blades
sped into line, feathered to create less
wind resistance. You didn't notice any
change in speed or maneuverability in
the airplane.
I'VE can fly this plane on two engines"
said Hunter. "If one, or even two, 60 out,
we don't worry" The copilot tipped the
starter, the dead engine coughed and
caught as the propeller settled down
to steady beating of the air. Behind
the wheel we set her course for the
brown mountains of Mexico, where Tia
juana nestled in valley, and the
brown roofs of the closed hot spot of
Caliente showed against the brown of
the valley floor. 1--WE aren't supposed
to cross the border" said Hunter. Swing
her out west" The ship swung easily and
gently to her controls, as easily as one
of those bantam cars around a corner.
Hunter sat her down on the short run
way at Lindbergh Field as smoothly as
a duck lighting on a pond, and TAXED her
back to the line. We thought the Lib

They don't" said Hunter. But If
they do the Libs can run away from them
or hide in a cloud. They get along all
right" Personally we felt sure we'd
be more comfortable with couple of
.50-caliber guns splitting lead at any
zeros. But the pilot pooh-poohed that

They have crossed the Pacific to Aus

Up in the high air, with props set at
an angle to grab big slice of the thin
atmosphere, superchargers spinning diz-
zily, forcing air into the big engines,
the Liberator, like the Flying Fortress,
is at her best. In the bombing of the
Rumanian oil fields the Libs dropped
down almost to roof level to escape anti
aircraft fire. But United States four
engined bombers do their best work up
on the roof, where the crew put on
weird oxygen masks, and move around
like men from Mars in huge, bulky,
epskin-lined flying suits, or the new
electrically heated coverals.
The Consolidated people claim the
Lib will fly higher than the Fortress,
but that is their claim and until the

plastic glass nose of both ships.
We ducked under the open bomb bay

maze of light metal struts and wires
criss-crossing in every direction. A

On the ground the Liberator is no

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Sept. 24.-A
force of Allied motor torpedo
boats speeded into the Bay of
Valona on the Albanian coast di-
rectly across from the Italian
heel Tuesday night and sank
two enemy vessels and hit two
others, an Allied communique
said today.
The daring motorboat foray to
the Albanian shore marked up an
Allied move in new direction
against the German forces in
Southeastern and Southern Europe.
A naval announcement said the
larger OF the two vessels sunk was
laden with ammunition. Shore bat
terfes opened fire on the torpedo
boats during their retirement,
causing some damage to one vessel
but all returned to base without cas-
ualties, the announcement said.
The opening OF the Adriatic to
Allied naval forces was pointed up
by the foray.
II was the first time Allied ships
had struck in that direction since
the fighting in Albania and Yugo-
slavia in 194l when Admiral Sir An
drew Browne Cunningham's cruisers
and destroyers made daring dashes
into the straits.
The raid conceded with the cam.
paign of Allied forces in the Middle
East who have seized Samos ane
two islands IN the Dodecanese.
