AS a third mission, the Allied

SHIFTED SECRETLY
The Ninth Air Force, shifted
here in secrecy from the Medi-
terranean theater, has been
building strength in Britain for
nearly year. Its presence was
generally known in England,
but no one was permitted to
publish the fact.
The Ninth originally was
formed for the Burma India
China theater and served there
for short time. 1t was shifted
to the middle east, however,
when Marshal Rommel was
threatening Egypt. There, it sup
ported the British Eighth Army,
raided Rome, and attacked the
Ploesti oil fields in Rumania. 1t
also made the first American at
tack on Italy, attacking shipping
in Naples Harbor.
With its transfer here it has
been transformed from pri-
marily heavy bombers to lighter
planes, more suited for the close
support of infantry and other
ground forces. The reconstructed
Ninth has been operating anony-
mously for some time now from
Britain.
1t took over the work of the
old Eighth Air Support Com
mand, including the BIS Ma
rauder medium bomber force
which has been beating a steady
bomb patter on Northern France
for months. Another element
of the Ninth is represented by
the new Mustang P-51B fighters,
which have been escorting
Eighth Air Force heavy bomb
ers.
Although the Marauders and
Mustangs are the only planes
identified with the new force SO
far, the job of air support can
put to use almost anything that
flies-and it is possible that
even the four-engined types may
appear in the ninth's lineup.
Air Marshal Sir Arthur Con-
ingham, recently named chief of
the RATS home based tactical
air force, heads the British sec
ton of the AEAF. The Raj tao
teal force includes all types of
planes commonly used by the
British in daylight operations.

But according to the veterin-

Despite their mishaps the two

A rare breed in the United

originally imported from Bel
GUM and Holland. Their queer
sounding name originated long
ago when they served as watch
dogs. or "schippers' on Dutch
boats.
Serving only as pets in this
country, it is a practise to cut
their tail completely off when
they're young. Occasionally.

Besides Danny Boy and Jamie
