High Twelve Members Hear
Capt. Lane Describe War
Ace of Mediterranean Theotre
Tells Of Grim Combot Routine

Shooting down of American
transport planes by u. S. naval
gunners with loss of more than
400 men in the plane crews, re-
Gently reported from the Italian
theater of war, was a fatal ex-
ample of the lack of coordina-
ton which takes place under the
stress of battle conditions, Capt.
George V. Lane, "a, veteran
bombing ace of this city, told
the High Twelve Club at their
noon luncheon Monday.
The slaughter of Americans
was a tragic accident, Capt.
Lane (who knew of the incident
months ago when il happened)
told the local group. Reports
that German planes flying in
the vicinity had so maneuvered
as to confuse American gunners
were discounted by Lane, who
denied that the Smelling of
American transports was ac-
complished through a Nazi ruse
STRICT ORDERS
The gunners had orders not

from a certain direction. be-
cause American transports were
expected from that area" the
bomber pilot pointed out. No
matter what bombs were drop
ped by other planes, the gunners
should have abided by their
original orders"
The accident had a devastat-
ing effect on the gun crews
themselves, Lane explained.
Hard boiled" navy gunners
actually wept in deep despond-
ency when they learned their
own shells had downed Ameri-
can planes had caused heavy
loss of life.
Capt. Lanes commentary on
the Italian area incident was
part of an interesting descrip-
ton of war in the Mediterran-
can area he offered the club. He
was a guest of City Engineer Err
nest L. Pettingill. Macy E.
Watkins presided at the club
luncheon.
IMPRESSIVE RECORD
Capt. Lane, who married Miss
Charlse Rut. Lumley, daughter
of Road Commissioner and Mrs.
Harry w. V. Lumley, was pilot
of B26 Marauder on "A bomb
ing missions in the North Afri-
can, Sicilian and Italian war
theaters, and II times piloted
the famous bomber, "Coughlin's
Coffin"
Among his many accomplish
ments was the sinking of three
Axis vessels near Italy. He
wears the Air Medal with seven
oak leaf clusters, in addition to
various, other decorations.
On one mission, which Capt.
Lane modestly described TO club
members, he was the only one
of his entire crew who returned
to the base practically unscath-
ed. although a splinter of shrap-
mel ripped his hand. Several
men were dead and others criti-
cally wounded in the plane.

war planes, Capt. Lane lauded
the new lighter bombers now

with notable success in the

armor and ornaments, Lane ex-
planned.
