ventures prediction from Eng

unless tax ruling is revised. BY
some quaint mental process the

formers like those moving figures

from living" performers such as
actors, music hall jugglers and

"April in Paris" and "Paris in the Spring" remind one of the beauty of the pre-war French Cap itol, but the first time Johnnie saw the Eiffel Tower, he was in the fish-bowl of the "Dry Martini" which was part of formation bent on the destruction of the fam ous Renault works. It was on that trip that the "COcktail Kids" estab- lished record of knocking ten enemy planes out of the sky. Inci- dentally, it was more than birds eye view of Gay Paree that John nie saw that day for his Fortress was nearly five miles up.
 While on a sortie over Wilhelms- haven, Johnnie's electrically heated flying suit caught fire, and there he was, seated in the ball turret, in the sub zero cold. He called the radio operator and changed places with him, completing the mission as radio operator and gunner. How did he extinguish the blaze? Just by the simple expediency of skipping it out with his hands. Re- member h was an ex-smoke eater.

Paris: St. Nazalre, Schwelnturt Wiihelmskaven, Bremen, Lille! All these cities are familiar names to men of the First AAF and to the men of this Base. However, to S/ Sgt. John F. Hill, they are more than just names, for he was the ball turret gunner in one of the most famous planes to drop de- struction on these enemy held cit ies, the B-17 "Dry Martini and the Cocktail Kids." Naturally, with this type of experience to his credit, the Sergeant is the ideal man for his particular duty as Flight Chief of the Armament Section.
 Let us backtrack to 1921, June twenty-second, to be exact, when he was born. His family moved from Yonkers, New York, ten days after his birth and since then he has call ed Valhalla his home. What could be more appropriate?
 Johnnie led an uneventful, though mischievous life in the southern portion of Westchester County, and in 1941 was graduated from White Plains High School. He was member of the Valhalla Fire Company, probably as retribution for the fact that he "thinks" he was responsible for bus catching fire one day.
 It was in January 1922, that he enlisted in the AAF in New York City and was sent to Camp Upton, Long Island. Then came his basic training at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. Johnnie wanted to get into the air at the earliest possible moment and asked for gunnery school Finally his wish came true. He was made ball turret gunner in a Flying Fortress and saw some patrol duty in the Pacific.
 In October 1942, he arrived in England with one of the first groups to go "across the big pond" One of the first things the men were taught by their RAF flying mates was the fighting tactics of the ferries. This was to stand him in good stead as later episodes will bear out.
 Almost year to the date of his enlistment, he was in a sortie over Lille, France. During the heat of the battle, the pilot was killed and the co-pilot wounded. Johnnie, himself, sports a few scars from that engagement where a few 80 caliber slugs poured daylight through his legs. In the melee, the co-pilot blacked-out and the ship went into a dive for almost a mile. The crew all thought it was cur tains for them, but through some miracle, the co-pilot revived in time to right the ship and bring her safely home. The Sergeant was hospitalized for the next six weeks, but a good man just can't be kept down.
