Well now, you hold that picture of
Tex Hill fora minute while ! show
him to you in another light.
One day over Hengyang, after we
had broken the Japanese wave with
our assault and support and there
were some fifteen Zeros burning
around among the pagodas of this
Human capital, I saw an odd sight
down below. There was one lone
Jap, doubtless of the suicide Samu-
raj school, for though his buddies
had either been shot down in their
attempted strafing attack or had
turned for home, this arrogant fol-
lower of the Shinto Shrine was
strafng the field-alone. Two of us
rolled to 60 get him, but from the
end of the field towards the river
I saw q P-40 pull out Of a dive and
head for the Jap. 1t was Tex Hill.
AS the two fighters drew together
in this breath-taking, head-on attack,
I saw their tracers meeting and for
a second I didn't know whether the
ships ran together or both exploded
in the air. AS the smoke thinned !
saw the P-4O flash on through and
out into the clear, but the Jap
crashed and burned on the field of
Hengyang. Hill and the Jap had
shot it out nose to nose, and once
again thought of the days of West
ern gunplay.
Things kept right on happening at
Hengyang, for after all there are
japanese bases tanning out in many
directions-East, North, Northeast,
South, and Southeast. Some of them
were within an hours flight of our
field. Hankow was the one to the
North on the Yangtse. The Japs

Great Lakes High Seas

Although the term thigh seas"
is understood to refer only to the
open, unenclosed parts of seas and
oceans, it has been held, by the
u. S. Supreme court (150 u. s..

because they have the general
characteristics of seas and are
navigable by large vessels for in
ternational trade between Canada
and the United States.

sent their bombers to worry us from
up there, and before we caught on
how to do it, they made life mis-
cradle for us. They had gotten tired
of sending their day bornbers down,
for they lost too many; so now they
had resorted to period Of constant
night attack.
Just when the full moon in the
clear sky would begin to light the
ground like daylight, the telephone
would start ringing, the Chinese in
terpreters would begin to stick the
little flags into the Map, and we'd
know that the Jap was on the way.
We'd be just about to sit down to
supper after a hard days work on
the alert. We'd leave the rice and
fish and squash, amid the houseboys'
calls of "Jin-bao-" (air raid), and
we'd rush for our planes that had
been assigned to night duty. Some
times the attack was a harassing
one only, and we'd return without
seeing them and go YEARLY back in
the moonlight to the hostel, get some
tea and cookie. and crawl in the
bed.
Just about the time the head hit
the pillow and the body felt a little
comfortable the alert would 60
again. I'd hear the tinkle of small
dinner bell and the plaintive voice Of
one of the houseboys- "Jin-bao, jim
bao-please get up, master-Jin-
bao." Of we'd go again and into
the sky. Sometimes the Jap would
feint two or three times to make us
use valuable gasoline. Sometimes
he'd circle Hengyang by fifty miles
and then go back to Hanxow. We'd
spend the night between the hostel
and the alert shack; but after all,
as we used to say, you weren't sup
posed to be comfortable in war,
and we were no exception.
Sometimes, though, the Jap didn't
feint.
General Chennault got us to pick
the best and most experienced pilots
for the night interrogation missions.
We'd use two to four ships and place
them at different attitudes over the
field, and wait for the Jap In the
light Of the moon, with our lights
out. On this particular night john
