When Sidney Warren left

a Specldlly-tralned force OF vol
unteers which preceded Raj
bombers to their targets in Ger
many and outlined the enemy
point with various colored flares.
Mortality of men and planes
was exceptionally high among
the Pathfinders, and only men
who asked for the assignment
received it.
Their mission was to fly low
over the target, sometimes a few
hundred feet above the ground
and mark the scene for Nightly
ing bombers following closely
behind them. A warm flax re-
ception was always ready for
the Pathfinders, which flew be-
low the clouds in handy range
for anti-aircraft guns.
1t. Warren's closest brush
with death took place after a
Pathfinder visit TO Frankfort, in
which his Wellington was the
leading ship.
I'VE were. caught and held in
searchlight throughout our
rum" Warren explains. "We
were a real sitting duck for
every gun within range, and UNI
til we finally shook off that
searchlight they threw every
thing at u.s."
The giant bomber was piddlcd
and one wing was practically
severed. Two of its motors were
completely smashed and fell
from the ship. Fire broke out
and the flames raced along
wings and into the fuselage as
the crippled bird headed for
home.
The rest of the Pathfinder for
nation, speeding for England
before the Luftwaffe could find
them, left Warren's ship far be-
hind. Like a flaming torch the
Wellington limped across the
English channel, losing altitude
with every mile.
The last motor finally gave
out while the plane was still
over water, but enough altitude
had been retained for an uncon-
trolled crash landing.
AS the ship hit in small for
est it exploded, throwing the en-
tire crew out and setting fire
not only to their clothing but to
the surrounding trees and
bushes. Crawling from the blaz-
ing wreckage, Warren and his
fellow crew members were fore
ed to stagger through walls Of
flame as the forest fire spread.
A mile or two away they
found farm house and aroused
the occupants by kicking on the
doors-the mems hands and fac
es were badly burned.
1t. Warren claims he owes
his life to the blood plasma,
most of it from the United
States, which was pumped into
him. He recalls receiving 10
pints--and hopes that some of
it was part of the eight pints
his mother donated at Mount
Clemens blood banks.
1t was during his long period
of disqualification and plastic
surgery that Warren was COM
forted by the smiling Irish
nurse who is now his wife. She
could have returned here with
him on his 30-day leave, but
volunteered TO wait for later
transport when she learned that
by accompanying her husband
she would be using special quar-
ters and depriving five or six
RCAF men from returning
home.
