cident. Fighter Kelly had been so
anxious to get on with the course of
instruction that he was completely
ignoring broken bones. OF such ma
terial are heroes made.
As the days went on we noticed
that pilots whom we had trained
were doing the things in this war.
in every theater, with the few air
planes we had. It was some conso-
lation to know that we had trained
the youngsters who were sinking the
Jap ships and shooting down the
enemy planes. But it was not
enough.
II still wanted to fight myself. I
could well remember the years and
years I had trained In Panama with
the 18th Pursuit Squadron; | had
always been too young to lead an
element, a fight, q squadron, or
anything. Then suddenly I was told
here that I was not only too old
imagine that, at age 34l--to lead
squadron, but also too old to lead
even group. In fact I was too old
TO fly a fighter plane into combat.
| used to tell the Generals that from
being too young, had suddenly
jumped to being too old. There had
never been correct age.
But all the argument was to no
avail, and after waiting around
March Field for ten days we were
ordered back to our home stations.
| returned to Lemoore in tse San
Joaquin. know there was no man
on Bataan any sadder that night
than 1. Then came orders to report
to Victorville-at least here was a
change, and I welcomed it. found
myself director of training in twin
engine SCHOOL, was still getting
farther and farther from the war.
II seemed to me now that all
was lost. had tried desperately
for the last six months to get out
of the Training Center, and now
that war had come 1t seemed that
the powers at the top had decided
that all of us, whether we had been
trained as fighter pilots or as COM
bat pilots, bomber pilots, or trans
port pilots, were nevertheless to stay
there in the Training Center. Decem-
Der, January, and February went
by, and in these months I wrote
from Victorville to General after
General. remember saying to one
of them:
Dear General, If you will excuse
me for writing a personal letter to
you on a more or less official sub
ject in time of war, will certainly
submit to you for court martial after
the war. But if you can just listen
to me ! don't care whether that
court martial comes or not. I have
been trained as fighter pilot for
nine years. ] have flown thousands
of hours in all types of planes. I've
been brought here as an instructor
and think I've done my job. Please
let me get out to fight. | want to

on--just so you get me out of the
monotony of the Training Center"
An answer came back from this
General: He would do all he could,
he would even forget the court mar
tial, but men were necessary in the
training centers. Even with these
kind words, it appeared that my
cause was lost. Then, when the fu-
ture looked worse than at any time
in my life, a telephone call came
from Washington, from Colonel.
Have you ever flown a four
engine ship?"
! answered Immediately: "Yes,
Sir" had flown one for a very
few minutes. at least I'd flown it in
spirit while standing behind the pilot
and co-pilot-but that was the only
time I'd ever been in the nose or in
the cockpit of Flying Fortress. His
next question was, How many
hours have you flown it?" I told him
eleven hundred; there was no need
to tell story unless it was a good
one, and after all, considered this
a white kind of lie-a white lie that
was absolutely necessary if I was
to get to war.
After giving this information I
went back to waiting with my hopes
way up. One night in early March,
1912, they came true and to me
they read like a fairy tale, too good
tn be tr1Ia / Wac m rero Y,1v with
them Immediately, reporting to a
field in the Central States. There /
would receive combat instructions
from the leader of our mission.
AS I drove over from victorville
to my home in Ontario that evening,
it seemed as though I was already
in the air-adventure had come at
last. Even then the fear tugged at
my heart that the orders would be.
