 I was a little worried about what would happen to me if 1t ex- ploded when hit, so I started firing when I was quite far away. was diving pretty fast and the first thing knew l had overshot my target. I pulled back and flew right beside 1t. The doodlebug was flying per- fectly straight, so I got good look. It looks like some 18th Century deal.
 I followed the robot raider over the field and closed on 1t from be- low--T like that spot because you've got big area to hit. On the fourth burst 1t caught fire and a big blue flame burst out, and 1t just snapped over and hit the ground in a big field.

and the explosion blew the roof of and smashed all the windows and killed a lot of ducks. Of course 1t made a pretty big crater, too.
 That was my first doodlebug.
 Then the next night I was play ing volley ball when our intelli- gence officer said that the RAF wanted couple of us to go out and patrol. I stayed up there about an hour and a half, but did not see anything and so landed again.
 was pretty sore about my wasted search and asked if I could not go up again. hadn't more than got up this time when I saw one. I chased the gadget about IS miles before caught 1t. It caught fire, rolled over, and went down. I was beginning to like this.
 A little later the same night I was out over the Channel when I saw jet flame moving fast. I caught 1t about ten miles inland. The doodlebug turned into the big gest ball of flame you ever saw and exploded. was at the top of my climb, but the explosion bounced me around even so.
 Shooting doodlebugs gets to be pretty much the same after the first few. An RAF Typhoon and I teamed up on the last one saw, and we knocked him out together.
 I think the doodlebug Is just a foolish German gadgets It is noth- ing more than that. It certainly won't change war at all.

 Developed to move high vacuum from the laboratory to the factory, proved in plasXna and penicillin in- stallations, the High Vacuum Dif- fusion Process has many applica- tions in the food and drug fields. Vaccines and bacteriologicals are typical heat-sensitive materials which can be dried successfully at low temperature and high vacuum. Fruit juices and fats are rotoriously difficult to dehydrate. One food product possible with modern va cuum engineering is a powdered orange juice which, reconstituted with plain water, has all the color, flavor and vitamin content of the fresh-squeezed fruit.
