the difficulties of mailing just be-

new belly tank on his Thunderbolt.
He TAXED back to takeoff point and
zoomed into the air again, eight
minutes behind his flight. A lone
fighter ship is the kind OF target
Jerry likes, but Mac didn't care. He
was spelling for a fight, and he got

Later in the day the squadron
came back, without Mac. No one

came phone call from Mac. He
had landed. his plane almost out of
gas, at another airfield, and. would
be back on the home field later.
Mac is moving up on the fighter

ferries to the credit on his ship,
Paddy, and two more damaged, one
OF which is a probable victory.
