In that instant of wavering he darted OH,
scared up over mountain. dropped on the
other side, flew straight along narrow valley,
and then mounted and hid in cloud; then
he kept flying until he was in sunlight again.
The swift and terrible job was over. He
remembered as little of it as though he had
been unconscious Where was he? He stared
around the unfamiliar landscape. There was
no sign of the other Americans - not plane
in the sky save his own Below him the valleys
stretched out into plains, fields, small river.
He dropped downward five hundred feet and
looked at villages walled town or two.

lNsTINcTIvELY he glanced at his gas gauges.
He remembered with grim flash that he had
already exhausted his right and left wing
tanks; even as his eyes flew to his reserve
tank reading, his engine began final gasping
