thinks it is possible, the plane is
to be loaded with as many of the
wounded as it will take. It IS
to bring them back to the near

that dangerous task-flying an
unarmed plane into the heart OF
enemy-held territory-1 ask for

In a flash every hand in the
room went up.

of selecting the volunteer" he
said.
MAY I make a suggestion, sir?'
Jerry asked.

is it,"
This ambulance plane will be
unarmed," Jerry stated. THAT
is because they are unarmed now.
but is there any reason why at
least one machine gun couldn't
be mounted in some fashion in
the Cockpit"
''Why, I suppose that could be
DONE" the major said. There's
no reason to keep the plane I'M
armed. But I don't think they'd
be much help-light caliber guns
and so few of them, mounted in
some emergency electromagnetic
a Nazi fighter plane if you should
run into one"
Jerry continued. GAS you
know, I was bomber pilot in the
South Pacific before I came here.
Completed fifty combat missions
there. And that brings me to my
second point. Since there can be
guns on the plane and since it may
encounter enemy craft, don't you
think you should select pilot
who has had actual combat ex-
perience and plenty of it? For in
Stance-me?"
| There were some muttered
protests from a few other pilots
in the room as the major thought
for a moment.
''You are right again." the ma
jor said. "And you've settled a
difficult problem for me. Thanks
to the rest of you for your i'm
mediate volunteering for so dan
gerous a task. That's all &.
Captain Donaldson, I'll speak
with you for a few moments
now"
81 don't know just what can be
done about those guns you want"
Major Duncan said, when he and
Jerry were alone. ''But I'll go
over that with the armament spe-
cialist. It will have to be quick.
1--we want you to leave in the
morning"
Il suppose you're right, sir
Jerry said, "about the guns not
being much help. But they'd
make me feel a lot better.'
well, that's important, on a
mission like this" the major said.
''By the way, the doctor is alrea-
dy selected among the many vol
unteers. Perhaps you know him
doctor Overton?"
"Oh, yes" Jerry replied. ''The
man at the field in Italy. A swell
fellow!"

CHAPTER vi
(COntinued)

"About six weeks ago, a group
Iof British and American officers
dropped by parachute to the
mountains. They were experts
in various phases of mountain
warfare, guerilla tactics, and such
techniques that might prove most
valuable to the guerrillas.
Remember, these French had
no experienced military leader
ship at all. About a thousand
men-all of whom had seen some
military service, but none OF
whom had been more than a lieu
tenant in the French Army. Thier
leaders have shown an amazing
cunning and ability to outwit the
Germans repeatedly. We knew,
however, that our specialists
could give them aid.
"Now we have received word
that the main encampment of the
guerrilla leaders was, surprised by
a German raiding party 3 days
ago. There was fierce fighting
and. before the Germans were
beaten off, many of the guerrillas
were killed, others wounded. The
word we have received says that
none of the British and Americans
was killed, although they were
all at the main camp. Most Of
them were wounded, some seri,
Ously."
'The problem, of course, is tt
get a plane in there to land anc
to take off again." the major said
There are two relatively flat
pastures of some size that might
be used for the purpose, although
~ gone of our planes has ever
Hied it. However, the French
assure us that they have cleared
these fields of rocks and heavy
distractions in the hope that &
plane might come in some time
And they have camouflaged these
pastures so German reconnais-
sance planes will not suspect
their possible use as landing
fields.
Frankly, 1 don't know if the
fields will take one of our trans
ports or not. It can probably get
in all right, with skillful handling
but can it take off again? I don't
know the answer. That's part Of
the GAMBLE
The pilots looked at each other
They knew all about pastures
that were supposed to double as
landing fields. And they knew
how long a runway their trans

needed.
