Noted Woman
f Air Force? is
Home Safely
PORTLAND, Ore. Oct 16.-P)-
Edith Foltz Stearns, Oregon's "one-
woman airforce" is home un
scathed after ferrying unarmed
combat planes through Britain's
fog for three and a half years.
The trim brunette, now "First -
Officer Stearns" of the British air
transport auxiliary, admitted she
had a few close calls. .
Ferrying a pursuit into south
England she was once mistaken for
a nazi buzz-bomb.' Puffs of ack-ack
exploded closer and closer to her
ship. "Plumb scared, she jammed
the throttle open and "got this
heck out of there." :
Mrs. Stearns has more than 4000
flying hours and has flown 230
different types of planes.
Honshu is the largest of the
Japanese islands.
