Brings In P-38 On
A Single Engine

"Those >krauts probably have me
listed on their books as a confirm
ed victory, but here I am" laugh
ed End 1t. Roland o. Leeman, OF
Florence, Arizona, who has three
German planes to his credit, after
returning from a mission to Ru-
mania on one engine in his P-38.
He is the son of Mrs. Lynn Farley.
"I was shooting at Hun when
another one sneaked out Of the
clouds and knocked out one Of my
engines. The engine poured black
smoke and flames and I hit the
deck"
Back in Italy, fellow pilots told
how, in the thick haze, they too
had thought that the Germans had
shot down Leeman. Suddenly the
radio silence was broken. Over
the air came:
"This is Lucky Leeman report
ing. If don't make it, I'll see you
in a month"
The dependable P-38 'Sad Sack,
a veteran of over 1S0 combat mis-
sions and officially credited with
16 victories, on its single engine
barely cleared few jagged noun
tains and was forced to circle a
tall one, but it brought Leeman
safely back to his base in Italy.
