1 field for just such liaison work But first Major Lander wanted more specific information.
 WATCHES MAP
 Capt. Peter J. Markham, an- other Detroiter, elected to do joint reconnaissance and bombing mission. He chose bomber in- stead of a fighter for the job, so was able to go along.
 Captain Markham marked my large-scale map with the location of the bridge and the route he plan ned to fly. He told me to watch for enemy concentrations. With noth- ing to do but observe, 1t looked as though 1t would be easy.
 We zoomed off, hugging the con- tours of the rolling countryside. You could see the trees bent back by our prop wash, so low were we flying. Surprisingly enough, our very close ness to the ground gave me the feel ing of increased safety, despite the obvious fact that flying risks de- crease with altitude.
 ENEMY SIGHTED
 Suddenly, as we road over a wooded hilltop and down into a pasture, caught a blurred flash of enemy troops under the trees. Before I could get rly eyes on the map we were three hills and two valleys away. I knew neither what I had seen nor where.
 Within a matter of minutes after taking off we were at the objective. We skinned the crest of a hill, swooped down onto the river. A truck was just starting to cross the bridge, which was perhaps 30 yards long. Markham went into a short, steep dive to give our hypothetical bombardier an extra split seconds aiming time, then pulled out only dozen feet above the bridge. We had pulled up over another hill and down into the safety of the valley beyond before the truck had had time to get across the short bridge.
 The job had taken less than half an hour from the first report. That's how 1t should work in France when the time comes.

 Because of this, in low-altitude reconnaissance, polits never e sent out for @ general look-see. They fly to specific spot to look for @ specific movement. Even so it's tough. I had a first-hand op- portunity to see just how otugh during recent maneuver here.
 A squadron just back from reconnaissance reported that the enemy seemed to be trying to cross an important river" on a pontoon bridge. Maj. Roberts L.. Lander, Detroiter who is group intelligence officer, marked the bridge tentatively on the huge situation map" On it, constantly being checked by reconnaissance, were the enemy positions.
 This latest information would have to be flashed by radio to our ground troops. If necessary new mays could be flown to them im- mediately in the tiny "grasshop- per" planes waiting out on the

BY TOM VOLT NEA Staff Correspondent

WITH A RECONNAISSANCE GROUP, VIII AIR SUPPORT COMMAND, oct. 27 - The most Drowned off" pilots in the Eighth Air Force are beginning to cheer up. They're members of this Reconnais- sance Group who came to England over Q year ago, already trained to . fine edge and rarin' to go. Then for Q year no one let them 90 any where, except on prectice hops over Britain.
 The reason was that to date the air war from England has been fought by the strategic air force = the bombers and intruders which strike Independently of Q n y ground force, the planes whose missions pay off on long-terrn re- vults.
 The Reconnaisst nee Groups, on the other hand, are units of the tactical air force = the Eighth Air Support Command which will be she eyes and the good right arm of the advancing ground troops on khe real second front.
 Now for the first time these Re- connaissance Groups are starting to get Q crack at the continent = crack with @ camera. The req sons for their aerial surveying eventually should become abund- antly clear to the enemy. So these pilots are. cheering up.
 Still, the bulk of their job is ahead. Photo reconnaissance is probably the lesser from the viewpoint of difficulty of the Reconnaissance Groups jobs. The harder job is visual reconnais- Sance from "zero altitude"
 A DOZEN JOBS TO DO
 The problem in low altitude re- connaissance is this: One man must perform dozen jobs at once. It's tough enough to hop hedges and telegraph poles under any circumstances. It's tougher still to spot camouflaged enemy concentrations when you're flash ing over them at five miles min ute. But the $64 problem for the pilots of these single-seat fighter planes is to know where they are when they do spot the enemy.
 You can't be looking at a map when you're only 50 feet off the ground. And at this speed it's only the batting of an eye between roads and rivers that are couple of miles apart.
 "Our problem is keeping our selves oriented," said Col. Freder- ick Anderson, of Detroit, h e groups co. Its easy enough to know where you are when you're flying at 1000 feet. You see a wide area below you and 1t stays in sight for awhile. The only trouble is that we can't live at 1000 feet. Our only safety is hugging the
