Had it done so in 1871 when

The sun is brilliant and it's hot

to remove the flight suit and close

there is just so much you can do
And why didn't I bring a canteer

The first land shows through the

DIVE BOMBER OVER LUZON,
P. l., Oct. 21-tDelayed)-It's harc
to think of war and southern Luxor
together once you have seen the
island from the air.
The first broad view is OF some
thing green and peaceful-of q
patchwork of farms, hills rolling
down to an expanse OF flat coun,
try, villages where people run ou'
to see blue and white Navy planes,
and a girl in a red dress waving
a palm branch from a small BOAT
It would be pleasant, you think
to land, look around, maybe &C
swimming in one. of the streams
YOU see curling out to sea. But this
is no sightseeing tour. Not with 9
1,OOO-pound bomb to deliver IN al
ear splitting dive.
