Our losses were due to striking
at targets which were beyond the

Capt. Cannon.
Capt. Cannon flew the same
ship-which was the third B-26 ever
bullt-for more than a year. At
the end of the time the wings and
fuselage were about the only orig

places where it had been hit by
bullets or shell fragments. Five en-
gines were used up. He has forgot

There was not pilot in the group

one pilot who made belly landing

paired and put back in the air with
the same pilot and crew.
Scores in Aleutians.
That is the sort of service the
BPS has been giving not only in
the Southwest Pacific but in all COM
bat areas. In the Aleutians the
plane has been deadly, the right
weapon to come snoring in out of
the msts at low level to leave
destruction behind it. Some of these
planes that have seen combat are
back at MacDill Field.
One, the Nanny Yokum, is fresh
in from the Aleutians. Painted on
the fuselage are the silhouettes of
five japanese ships, including light
cruiser and a destroyer that this
plane put under water.
The B-26 has suffered from a pc
culiar circumstance attending its
introduction to our Air Forces. 1t
is perhaps the only plane that has
been placed in active service before
it had been thoroughly tested under
service conditions. Designed to meet
Army specifications of the kind of
medium bomber the Air Forces
wanted, the plane went into action
without the long period of trial and
experiment which usually follows
new designing The B-26, in effect,
came off the drawing board to COM
bat action without any intermediate
stops

AS Improvements have been made
and as the Army has learned the

earlier reputation as a mankiller
has tended to fade. But no con-
scientious reporter could say that
it has been dissipated. The B-26
is still regarded with a mixture of
respect and apprehension by young
pilots learning to fly it.
Brig. Gen. James E. Parker, head
Of the bombardment command at
MacDill Field, regards the BIS as
a magnificent plane. but he is under
no illusions as to the caution with
which new pilots must be broken in
to fly it. His answer to the training
problem has been more care and
time devoted to the TRANSITION"
period OF training, giving the young
pilot about two extra months to
learn the B-26 and strict insistence
on the highest maintenance ef-
flciency.
The grumbling among new pilots
about the B-26, which some months
ago was a matter of considerable
worry to the Army, has died down
