Daughters of the British Empire in
the United States, the society was
reorganized in 1920 by Mrs. G.

The main objective of the society

homes for aged people of British
birth. Four homes are now sup
ported by the Society, Sierra Madre
Calf; Hollywood, ILL.,; Ossining
N. Y, and Orange Park, Fla.
A rule of the society is to move
the national headquarters every
three years to one of the four geo.
graphical districts, the past three
years having been in New York and
the next three years to be in Cali
fornia.
The local chapter, known as the
Queen Elizabeth Chapter, has
adopted one of the guests at the
Ossining Home, Miss Ada Morris
and each holiday and birthday the
elderly lady is remembered by some
small token.
Since the war, members of the
society have joined with their Amer
lean sisters in working with the
Red Cross, have contributed to the
British War Relief Society and have
endowed two hostels for children in
England and assisted in maintain

|LINDBERCH SHOT
| DOWN JAP PLANES
Bv WILLIAM B. DICKINSON
Tinted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 Wp =
Charles A. Lindbergh sent a JAP
anese zero fighter plane down in
flames with one short burst from
the guns of his army lightning dur
ing far east air forces raid on
oil installations at Balipapan,
Borneo, on October 10, 1914.
The high military authority from
whom I first obtained this story
more than 10 months ago has just
released me from the pledge of
secrecy I gave at that time, and l
am now able to give full details.
Reason for secrecy - at least
until the end of the Japanese wr
- was obvious: Lindbergh was a
civilian, and as such was sup
posedly a non-combatant. And aft
er his one combat flight to Balik-
papan, he was ordered by Gen.
George c.. Kenney, feat command
er, to make no more fighting mis-
sions. - -
The story was given me by a
high officer as I sailed aboard the
cruiser Nashville with Gen. Doug
las Macarthur to land at Leyte,
the Philippines, on Oct. 20, 1914.
Lindbergh, then AZ years old, had
come to the southwest Pacific area
some weeks before, as a civilian
attached to the army air forced, to
train American fighter pilots, most
of them little more than half his
age, in long-range flying.
He was flying with Americas
finest fighter pilots. Maj. Richard
Ira Bong, of Poplar, Wis, whose
score of 40 enemy planes de-
troyed made him this country's
top-ranking ace of all time, was in
the formation. He got his 29th and
Both that day. Maj. Thomas B. Nc.
Quire, of Ridgefield, N. j., second.
ranking ace, was there. There
wasn't a green pilot among the
more than 80 fighters on the mis-
sion.
Mcclure was to die later straf-
ing Jap destroyer in the Philip
pines, and Bong in a test flight
Of a jet plane in California. Both
told me, in interviews before their
deaths:
'Lindbergh was as hot a pilot as
any of us. He would have been out
there knocking off Japs every day
if Kenney had let him."
There were Japanese a plenty
that day at Balikpapan. At leas
60 Jap fighters met the bomber:
and escorting fighters as they wen
into the target. And the fitht last
ed the American planes were
nearly an hour oft on the home
ward trip.
No more Japanese came within
range Of Lindbergh's guns tina
day. He returned to base with his
plane unchanged.
When the days kills were total
ed, after the raid. there was a diff
ficulty. One enemy plane couldn'1
be credited to any pilot, because
Lindbergh's name couldn't 6 o ir
the record.

me, laughing. Here we re with

anese shot down by fighter com
mand than the individual records
show. But I guess we'll let it ride
that way"
This story about a great war
job done by one of Americas
great airmen will set the record
straight.
