President Sees Pyramids.
On the approach to Cairo, the

Bryan making several "off course
circles to afford the President view
of the pyramids.
There was some question whether
the President could make the flight
from Cairo to Teheran. He wanted
to fly, but there were conflicting
reports on the necessary altitude at
which to make the fight, some esti-
mating the plane would have to
reach height Of $4,000 feet. Sc
Maj. Bryan took another plane for
a survey trip to determine the neces-
sary elevation. If 1t should be nec-
essary to cross the mountains at
an extremely high altitude, the
President would be flown to Abadan
and then go by train to Teheran.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 10
(NANA).-As we approached Dji-
djelli, Gen. Eisenhower, who was in
the co-pilot's seat, noticed a twin
engine airplane Of apparent French
design approaching our plane from
2 o'clock and at approximately our
level.
"One fighter Immediately went
down and warned the plane away,
but the pilot continued toward us.
After his apparent disregard of
the warning, three P-39s immedi-
ately peeled of In dive toward the
intruder. Remembering the in
structions given the fighter pilots
the day before, I expected to see the
plane shot down.
However, about the time the
three fighters started their dive,
the pilot saw them coming and
turned away. It was q close call
for the Frenchman."
That Is part of the official report

because the fighters couldn't stay

"The field had been closed to all
traffic, and we had planned to taxi
the big four-engine Army transport
plane out and take on as soon as
possible.
No sooner had the Presidents
plane taken to the air than the
fighters raced down the runway and
climbed upward, protecting the
most vital cargo in the air. Soon
the Presidents plane, the P-39s and
British fighters were on their way.
The aerial convoy headed out to
sea. Then, in Maj. Bryan's words,
the flight was routine until they
encountered the lone Frenchman,
who perhaps still wonders what 1t
was all about.
After changing the fighter escort
at Djidjelli, the party again headed
out to sea.

The flight of the Presidents plane
would take it north of Tunis and
then east to the Nile River. thence
north to Cairo. Since the arrival
at the Nile would be after daylight
it was agreed fighter escort would
meet the Presidents plane at the
point where it reached the Nile, near

and the plane raced along at 1000

recent, flight with President Roose-

conference in Teheran.
TWA Official in Private Life.
Sitting in the living room of his
Kansas City home, Maj. Bryan, who
as a vice president of Transcon-
tinental e. Western Air directs the
operations of the intercontinental
division, related the incident as just
one of many experienced during the
5212 hours in which the President
was flown 9,764 miles.
On the last flight he was COM
missioned a major in the Army Air
Forces Air Transport Command.
Once the flight was over, he was
back in civilian clothes, but in re-
serve and ready for another fight
if the President chooses to go.
You see there was some concern
over the security phase of the mis-
sion from Oran to Tunis," he re-
lated. I'VE all discussed it after
our arrival at Oran. While we were
there, P-39 fighters arrived for To-
cal coverage and to cover the flight
to Tunis.
THE plans were that P-39's would
act as cover from Oran to Tunis.
Inasmuch as Tunis was beyond the
fighters range, We planned to
change fighter escort at Djidjeli.
Fighters Told to Shoot.
I'VE summoned the fighter element
leaders and instructed them that
If any aircraft came within three
miles of the Presidents plane, one
fighter was to warn it away. In
the event it persisted in coming
within the three mile limit, the
plane was to be shot down"
On the night of November 10,
