then we got to be pals and
eventually we adjourned from one
place to another, as Damon Runyon
would say, and kept on adjourning
throughout the evening, and good
time was had by all.
These boys were BIG bonn
bardiers, and in the course Of the
evenings events they asked If I
wouldn't come and live with their
squadron awhile. Being nothing If
not accommodating, I said sure,
why not. And here we are.
The two boys were Lieuts. Lindsey
Green (2360 Chestnut street,, San
Francisco, and Jack Arnold (603 N.
Fourteenth street,, East st. Louis.
Ill. Being redheaded, Lieutenant
Arnold goes by the name Of "Red
Dog" They are both very nice
people indeed.
The boys say this is the best
squadron in England. Nine out Of
ten >squadrons, or infantry COM
panies, or quartermaster battalons,
will say the same thing about them
selves. It is a good omen when they
talk like that.
The commander of this group is
Col. Wilson r. Wood, Chico, Texas.
Five years ago he was an enlisted
man. Today, at rs, he is full
colonel. He is a steady, human per-
son and he has got what It takes to
blend thousands of men together
into a driving unit.
The job of the B-26s is several
fold. For one thing, they had to rid
upper France and the Low coun-
tries of German fighters as far as
possible, to clear the way for our
heavy bombers on their long trips
into Germany.
They have done this not so
much by bombing airdromes,
which can be Immediately re-
paired, as by blasting the
enemy's reserve supplies of
planes, engines and propellers.
Their second job is to disrupt
the enemy's supply system.
Much of their work Of late has
been ON railroad marshalling
yards, and along with A-20s and
fighter bombers, they have sue
ceeded to a point where British
papers say Germany cannot
maintain a western front by rail. !.
And third, they constantly
work on the enemy's military /
installations along the Channel
coast.
The BPS is a bomber which is
very fast and carries a two-ton
bomb load. In it's early stages it had
a bad name-it was a shot" plane
which took great skill to fly and
which killed more people in train
ing than it did in combat.
But the BIG has lived down the
bad name. The boys Of this squad
ron wouldn't fly in anything else.

things. One night
in London I was
sitting at a table
with some friends

when two boys in

whereupon we got

It's record over here is excellent.
Bombing accuracy has been high
and losses have been extremely low.
And as for accidents-the thing that
cursed the plane in its early days
they have been next to nonexistent
here.
The boys so convinced me of
the B-26's invulnerability that
took my courage in my hand
and went on a trip with them.
They got us up at 2 In the morning.
Red Dog gave me an extra pair Of
long drawers to put on. Chief gave
me his combat pants, as I had
given mine away in Italy. Also I
put on extra sweaters and a macki-
nav.
Then we walked through the
moonlight under the trees to the
mess hall. It was only 2:30 a. M,
but we ate breakfast before the
take-off. And we had two real fried
eggs too. It was almost worth
getting up for.
We drove out to the field in
jeep. Some of the boys rode their
bicycles. There were couple of
hundred crewman altogether. At the
field we went into a big room,
brightly lighted, and sat on benches
for the briefing.
The briefing lasted almost an
hour. Everything was explained in
detail-how we would take off, how
we would rendezvous in the dark,
where we would make the turn
toward our target.
Then we went to the locker room
and got our gear. Red Dog got me
pair Of flying boots, a Mae West
life preserver, a parachute and
set Of earphones. We got in the jeep
again and rode out to the plane.
sat back in the radio COM
partment on some parachutes for
the take-off. Red Dog was the only
one Of the crew who put on his
chute. He said didn't need mine.
AT $4,000 feet up it begins to get
daylight before it does on the
ground, and while we could now see
each other plainly in our BIG, things
were still darkly indistinct in Eng
land, far down there below us.
RED Dog" Arnold. the lombard
Ter, was sitting in the copilot's
seat, since we weren't carrying a
copilot. The boys got me tin box
to sit on right behind Red Dog so
could get a better view.
We climbed higher, and at q
certain place the whole group of
B-26s made turn and headed
for the target. This wasn't a
mission over enemy territory,
and there was no danger to it.
AS we neared the target Red Dog
crawled forward through little
opening into the nose, where the
bombardier usually sits. The entire
nose is plexiglas, and you can see
straight down and all around He
notioned for me to join him.
I squeezed into the tiny compart-
ment. There was barely room for
the two of us. The motors made
less noise up there. By now daylight
had come and everything below was
clear and spectacular.
I stayed in the nose until we were
well on the way home, and then
crawled back and sat in the CO.
pilots seat beside Chief Collins. The
sun came out, the air was smooth
and it was wonderful flying alont
there over England SO early in the
/ morning.

CMILEY BURNETTE, Re-
~ public's robust Western
comedian, is celebrating his
tenth year in films with his
current "BorderTownT Trails"
He's had quite a career. After
transforming the Midwest for
years he became the operator Of a
one-man radio station in central ILL.,
nois; he did everything, including
writing songs for his programs. One
night Gene Autry heard him; next
day Smiley joined Autry in Chicago,
and shortly afterward they went to
Hollywood and into pictures to-
gether. Smiley has written more
than 200 songs for himself, Autry,
Roy Rogers and others in Republic
films, and has made almost 100 pic
tures-and an enviable name for
himself.

that he return to Hollywood to star

in his own radio show on Wednes-
