Mr.. and Mrs. George Baeth have
received an air medal from their
son, Staff Sergeant Kenneth, with a
letter telling them that he cannot
tell them what it is for yet. Ser
geant Baeth often tells of long
bombing missions they have been
on, so it is expected the medal is a
reward for one of these. He is a
tail gunner on a BIS in the Pacific.
A letter to this newspaper from
Hal Hall, former well-known West
ern News reporter, says:
Our old squadron was inactivat-
ed recently and | am now with the
Signal Air Warning Bn. They have
been over here (Italy) since the
very start and SO are all veterans.
Have heard from Dave (Dave
Holz) and know where he is but
haven't seen him. Probably won't
until we hit Montana again.
I've seen some pretty badly bat
tered towns and villages and since
the big push started there are many
natives along the roads moving
north, back to their own homes.
It is all pitiful but already recon-
struction has started, so before
many months things will be some
what normal.

is but can we'll imagine he is still
in the thick of it."
Daniel R. Harvey, Eureka, has
been accepted for air combat crew
training and enlisted in the Air
Corps Enlisted Reserve at Montana
Recruiting and Induction headquar-
tiers, Major Charles B. Atkins, presi-
dent of the Army Air Forces exam
ming board, stated today.
The II year-old enlistee is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. ]. Harvey,
Eureka. A graduate of Lincoln
County High School, Harvey will
remain in inactive Army status
until sometime this fall.
Word comes from 1t. John H.
Helms, who is stationed somewhere
in England, of his recent promotion
from second to first lieutenant. The
Lieutenant is again back in COM
bat after having been grounded and
hospitalized for three weeks with
sinus and ear trouble.
T/Sgt. Peter v. Klinke of Fortine
writes to have his Western News
sent to his new location at Lake
Charles, La, and adds.
II am now assigned to the Lake
Charles Army Air Base and am
instructor in the advanced gunnery
phase of the aerial gunnery course.
We have small but very complete
school.
Certainly miss that Montana
weather. 1t is terribly hot day and
night here"
It will be remembered that Sgt.
Klinke saw much service in actual
combat on the African and Italian
fronts and was finally shot down
over Italy, landing in enemy terri
tory. He was reported missing in
action but made his way back to
his own lines after several days.
Later he was returned to the United
States.

Flying Fortress
Saved by Signs
Raj Pilot Wagsles Wings,
Leads Plane to Safety.

LONDON.-N American Flying
Fortress crewmen are alive and
their $250, 900 plane will fly against
Hitler again because, in one split
second, an alert British Spitfre pilot
improvised m air sign language.
Had II not been for Flight Lieut..
A. J. Andrews. Royal Air force fight
er pilot, the Flying Fortress would
have crashed IN the English chan
mel and its crew might net have
been here now to ten 4ll4i-s3ny..
Lieut.. James M. Stewart, = years
old, Z clergyman's son from Mar
rowbone, KY, was plotting the For
tress IN the big raid against Lille,
France, when he was attacked by
swarm Of German lighters. The
Nazis Knocked out two Of the planes
four motors, smashed the radio ap-
paratus, riddled the life raft, and
drilled shell holes in the rudder.
The Fortress finally shook them
of, but it lost height rapidly over
the channel until it had dropped to
about $500 feet.
The third motor began to cough.
Stewart added.
Il knew it was only question Of
several hundred yards before l
would have to make crash landing.
With the hills in front Of me, it
looked like the best chance was to
land in the channel.
~ was picking out soft spot in
the water, which was very rough
AT this critical moment, Lieuten-
ant Andrews appeared and instantly
sized up the situation. He could not
communicate by radio, SO he flew
in front Of the Fortress, Waggled his
wings violently, and headed directly
for shore.
Il knew he wanted me to follow
him, so / took chance" Stewart
continued.
The Spitfire sped straight over a
low hill, he said, and "just as An
drews reached the crest OF the hill
he waggled his wings again and
dropped his landing gear to show me
there was field below"
The struggling bomber just
cleared the hill and rolled onto q
runway safely.
