These pilots are tired out by al
most constant alert without relief for
II days.
P-40's with their sleek silhouettes
showing wheels up and everything in
proper order. But off to the flank,
in almost the position of the number
three man in Wee formation, was
one ship with its wheels extended.
Some one called on the radio, "Hey,
Elias, who's that flying in formation
with you. with their wheels DOWN."
AS the words sank into the con-
sciousness of the fight, and of Elias
especially, their ominous signif-
icance became apparent. Elias
jerked his head around and looked
at his wing man. Even to an in
experienced eye, the silhouette was
unmistakable. It was Jap Model

gear types. The entire formation
tried at once to get it as they finally
realized what it was. But they had
the laugh on Elias. Just as he rec
ognized the Jap, the enemy pilot evil
IDENTIFY recognized the P-40's in the
twilight before darkness-perhaps
he saw the leering sharks mouths.
For as Elias showed the nose of his
ship straight down and dove for him,
the Jap pulled his ship straight up
and climbed for the sky. Later,
when our imaginations began to en-
broider the joke, Elias took the kid
ding in good part and always had a
comeback.
A small two-seater biplane,
Fleet, came to Hengyang from
Kweilin one day with a Chinese Of
ficer. We looked the little ship over
as it came into the field wide open
at some seventy-fve miles an hour.

five hundred feet-that'll keep YOU
just above their small-calibre fire
and they can't shoot accurately that
low with the big stuff. Over the field
you fly with one wing low, kind of
skidding, cutting your switch on and
off SO the Japs will think you're
either wounded or over there with a
bad engine"
Elias was trying to figure out
whether I was serious or not. Then

After all, Elias. If they get you, a
