Beck From the Wars

WnaJ started out last summer as
q daylight reconnaissance mission
against the Japanese supply base of
Kavieng on New Ireland Island de-
veloped into game of hide-and-
seek with eight Zeros and ended in
perilous parachute leap for IL of
our airmen who trekked three days
through dense jungles to return to
their base in New Guinea.
Staff Sergt. Carl Polvinale, 25,
Of 2420 L'Enfant square Sc,
who recently returned home, was
the nose gunner on that bomb
er. 10 him, the wearer of the Dis
tinguished Flying Cross with Oak
Leaf Cluster, the episode was just
another of SO hazardous missions
against the Japanese. But what he
had been through was mirrored on
the faces of his wife and mother,
Mrs. Lucy Polvinale, who listened
attentively in the living room of
their home.
The mission began in the early
morning. Except for the usual
tenseness among the crew and
rough weather all went well at first.
The bomber maneuvered over Ka-
vieng for special photographer to
make his shots.
Eight Zeros Attack.
Suddenly, just as the bomber
headed towards home, eight zeros
sWarmed in and attacked from all
sides. Bursts of 25-millimeter shells
caused the No. engine to catch
fire. One of the waist guns was
out, the other had to be hand
charged. The top turret gun
wouldn't fire regularly, one of Sergt.
Polvinale's nose guns broke down,
leaving him unprotected from the
right side.
From then on it was nip and tuck,
with the bomber ducking into rain
SQUALLS and clouds and the Zeros
swarming around for the kill. Three
of the Zeros disappeared and were
later tailed as probables. But the
others continued to riddle the
bomber. BY using special carbon
dioxide extinguisher the pilot was
able to put out the blaze on the
now-useless No. l engine. The gun
ners were forced to hand-charge
their guns and many times had 70
stand back helplessly as the Japs
zoomed by.
Coming out of one thick rain
squall, the bomber's crew found
themselves directly over four Jap
destroyers. and for the first time
realized why they were meeting with
so much opposition. The destroyers
filled the sky with ack-ack shells
and only by a quick turn was the
bomber able to get out of range.
The enemy fighters, however, kept
coming. When the fighters ap-
peared almost out of shells they
swooped in threateningly without
firing, Finally, they gave up the
chase.
Engine Begins Sputtering.
BY this time new menace had
arisen-the bomber's No. engine
began sputtering. The plane would
gain altitude and then suddenly
drop, but the crew nursed her home
ward. Soon the New Guinea coast
appeared below, then the dense
jungles. Almost home, but not
quite, the No. 2 engine was working
irregularly. After a hurried confer
ence with the engineer, the pilot an
nounced through the interphones
they would all have to jump.
One by one the crew leaped out,
with the pilot and co-pilot gong
last. Sergt Polivinale recalls how
the opening of his chute seemed to
jerk his body apart 1t was his first
jump. He landed in tall, wiry grass
that bruised him painfully.
