Former D. {. Lawyer
Serves With Spitfire

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.
Stan correspondent OF The Star

WITH 18th AIR SUPPORT COM
MAND, SICILY tBy MaiD Officer
of one of the most active Amer
lean Spitflre squadrons now in

Allied conveys over hundreds of
square miles of the Mediterranean,

of Varnum street NV. The former
Washington lawyer has under his
wing group of as enthusiastic

the invasion last November.
Nazis Release Dorniers.
just now, Capt. Cook says, the
pilots are chiefly concerned with
fathoming the ways of Germany's
tWln-engined, high-winged medium
pombers, the Dorniers. These planes
now seem to constitute the majority
of the raiders sent over Sicilian
i
Jectives in dawn raids.
The Dornier is not a new plane.
1t has been on the German books
for long time. but apparently
never has been produced in large
quantities. Perhaps a reserve supply
now is being drawn on.
Accompanied by the long familiar
Ju-88's, they sweep over the Mediter-
ranean from the Italian mainland
The pilots report back, Capt. Cook
says, that the Dorniers seem to be
fireproof. They are considerably less
often sent down in flames than the
Junkers. They also are showing
more return fire power.
Heinkel Is Scoreboard.
Seldom is an enemy plane found
capable of flight. 1t either was
made sieve by Allied shrapnel or
thoroughly wrecked with thermite
bombs planted py the enemy.
At present the squadron's pilots
are noting their victories by mark

q Heinkel which was left relatively
undamaged on field. There were
two victories over Dorniers marked
up the other night. The planes came
over the field, dropped their bombs.
and were away in the darkness,
Later two pilots started in pursuit
and caught up with them 100 miles
at sea and so miles apart. Both
were destroyed.
The squadron's most exciting day
was experienced near Bone, when 12
OF its Spitf1res shot down Il Ju-88's

5000 Flyers Take Part.
A dispatch from a bomber base
in England, which passed British
censorship said some 5000 veteran
Raj flyers from over the empire
and some American volunteers
took part.
Assuming that each plane carried
an average of seven men-the usual
number on an Raj heavy bomber
this would indicate that more than
TOO planes were used.
Two of the bombers apparently
from the Berlin raid came down in
Swedish territory. one in flames
after running battle with a Ger
man fighter, which also landed in
Sweden. Preliminary reports said
9 of the Ia crewmen of the two
ships were accounted for.
Reporting strong formations over
Berlin, the German communioue
said 1.-The reorganized air defenses

reports thus far.

Fifty-f1ve bombers were lost on
the double attack on Pilsen in
Czechoslovakia and Mannheim
Germany, on the night of April 16.

as high as 2.300 long tons of bombs
