Experiences In Euro
pean Theater

Capt Roland Wooten, famous
fiohter pilot of the U. S. Army
Air Forces, was the feature speak.
~ at the Wilmington Engineer
cInb meeting Wednesday at 6:3(
Void at the Friendly cafeteria. \
captain Wooten expressed vivid
l., his many experiences in the
turopean theater of war. He was
Nth the first branch of Ameri-
can pilots to join with the Raj
flvne over France. He stated that
t -. invasion of Africa, with Gen.
1immv Dolittle, was difficult be-
..use of the lack of experience,
souipment, and the fact that the
"Huns had nothing wrong with
+beir brand of CUTS. However,
+be INVASION CT Sicily was compare
lively easily because Of the heavy
COMPARTMENT beforehand.
Captain Wooten said that the
German prisoners were very over
hearing and arrogant. The only
fling that would take them down
from their high horse" was to
mention turning them over to
the British.
Much propaganda concerning the
home front is forwarded to the
fiohting forces, stated Capt.
Wooten. When the boys on the
tro,4 lines heard about the strikes
thev asked, What in the hell is
wrong?
Wooten exclaimed that the Brit
jsh were jolly, covering up their
seriousness, about the war. They
termed major battles at "big
shows they would enjoy"
1t Col. A. J. Reynolds and 1t.
Anthony Evans gave short talks
on their experiences in the Euro
ne n and Pacific war theaters,
and answered questions along with
Can't Wooten. When asked how
the Germans and Japs compared
in abil ty, Reynolds said that the
Germans were not fighting as hard
as the Japs. The japanese are
treacherous, the Germans could
never think of all the horrdd
treatments that the Japs know
and practice. The Germans are
greatly organized, hut have grain
of chivalry.
Capt. Wooten has been awarded
