Pensacola Flyer
Describes First Solo

Wesley E. Robertson, son of Mrs.
Mary E. Robertson. 50l7 Quarles
street NE, who is now taking ad-
vanced fight training at the Pensa-
cola Naval Air Training Center, de-
scribed his first solo flight this way
In letter home:
IT'S great to get up there by your
self.
You get out to your plane, climb
In and feel so proud that you have
to return to the hangar to sew more
buttons on your shirt.
Then you get in the air and
everything seems so peaceful, just
clicking along like the man on the
flying trapeze. The sweet roar of
that little engine is music to the
ears.
You decide to practice landings.
You cut your motor and put it into
a glide. There is a little circle on
the ground to hit. You make a BEAU
tiful approach and think to your
self, This is going to be perfect
circle shot Just then you let your
air speed get a little too high and
lose your good approach and land
ing. You overshoot.
Well You say, that's the first
one So you give it the gun and
climb back into that beautiful blue
to try again. This time YOU do it
and you're back in the groove, with
your head in the clouds again. You
shoot couple more and then climb
far up in that cool blue for few
maneuvers. such as wings over
spirsls and rolls.
That gives YOU thrill, because
you are the one that is doing it
nobody but YOU. It's not the old
stuff of hoping somebody will take
you up and hoping if you do get A
hop he'll do something to give you
an added thrill. No, you do it your
self, and there's bigger thrill in it."

photographers assigned to. make a
pictorial record of the marines
drive toward Toxic, Sergt Gass' pho
tography is now more than
hobby.
Sergt. Gass recently came out Of
New Georgia, where he and another
photographer, Corpl James Carroll
of Silver Spring, Md, served with
the Marine Raiders at Enogai and
Bairoko
Shoot Photos of Jap Bombs.
When American dive bombers
pounded Bairoko with the heaviest
blitz OF the campaign on July "a.
Sergt Gass stood on the beach at
Enogai, less than a mile away across
Kula Gulf, and photographed the
bomb hits. 1t was one of the few
cases on which the bombing of a
big enemy base has been photo
graphed from the ground.
Although the Japs were only 2
miles away at Bairoko and 4 miles
across Kula Gulf on Kolombangara,
Sergt. Gass' narrowest escape came
as freak accident during the TAX
ing of routine pictures.
The Raiders commanding officer
requested that he take a group pic
ture of his surviving officers, and
in order to get better angle Sergt.
Gass climbed banyan tree. He
lost his balance and fell 10 feet to
the ground, where, although
scratched and bruised, he managed
to retain grip on his precious cam
era and save 1t. He climbed the tree
again and took the picture.
Dampness Proves Handicap.
On New Georgia. Sergt Gass faced
every conceivable handicap. In the
jungle he found the light was bad,
frequently impossible. His film
packs and camera faced the danger
of destruction, fash bulbs were ruled
out. lest they attract the enemy.
Tropical rains added to his difficulty,
and frequent enemy dive bombing
endangered his equipment. Despite
these difficulties, many of his shots
are now appearing in newspapers
back home.
Combat photographers and COM
bat correspondents who at first re-
garded the ex-clothing salesman
skeptically, soon recognized him as
one Of the best of their group in the
field.
Although the New Georgia cam
palgn was his first experience under
direct fire, it was not his first con-
tact with the Japss q On several oc-
caslors ON Guadalcanal he had
undergone enemy strafing and
bombing raids. Recently he COM
pleted picture story on a Marine
aircraft group which involved flying
several thousand miles between Al
lied bases in the South Pacific.
With Hecht Co. l8 Years.
Sergt. Gass came out of business
school in Washington to begin work
ing as a stockroom clerk in 1924.
After l8 years of employment with
the Hecht Co.. he enlisted. Follow
ing recruit training at Paris Island,
S. c., he studied aerial and combat
photography at the Marine Corps
Still Photography School at Quan.

Elton Britt New
Cowboy Sensation

Elton Britt, the singing cowboy
now being hailed from coast to coast
for his thrilling patriotic song,
There's a Star Spangled Banner
Waving Somewhere" comes to the
Municipal Stadium on Sunday for
two shows, 3 p. m. and p. m.
Not since Gene Autry first rose to
fame has any singer of cowboy songs
achieved the widespread popularity
now enjoyed by Britt. Record sales
of There's Star Spangled Banner"
shot to the million mark in cyclonic
time, and the song has been COM
pared to God Bless America" in the
university of its appeal.
Elton comes from down Oklahoma
way, in the Ozark Hills near Tulso.
He learned to sing by listening to
monograph records, plagued his
dad into buying him a six-dollar
guitar, and spent all his spare time
practicing singing and yodeling. His
break came when a California in
dustrialist, touring the back sections
by private plane in search of new
radio talent, heard the lad and
brought him to Hollywood Elton
quickly developed into boy won
der, and when maturity arrived,
went on to his present great success.
Britt heads an all-star cast of
stage, screen and radio stars, num-
bering more than fifty.
