'Big Moose' Moss Shot
: Down Over Jap Airdrome,
Makes Way To Rangoon.
' By Danl.1 Deluc
Rangoon, Burma, Jan. 21 UP)
Georgia-born Pilot Officer R.
G. Moss, American volunteer
with the Chinese force, came
back safely today by river raft,
bull cart and airplane, slipping
through Japanese lines after he
parachuted from his damaged
plane.
The flier, known to his associ
ates as "Big Moose" Moss, had
destroyed one Japanese plane
and damaged another In an air
fight yesterday over the Japa
nese airdrome at Meshod, north
western Thailand, before his
own plane was hit.
His parachute brought him
down 10 miles west of Meshod,
just behind the Japanese lines.
He got through, reached Moul
mein and came back to Rangoon
in a British plane.
Got One Jap
I There were great red welts
on his neck from where his
parachute rigging had burned
him and his front teeth were
chipped from the force of his
0 landing in a rice paddy after
bailing out at only 800 feet, but
he seemed unperturbed as he
climbed from the bomber here
and recounted his experiences.
"Positively I got one Japanese
army 97," the drawling Geor
gian told his mates. "He never
had a chance to open his chute.
A second rascal tried to ram me
while I was climbing, and then
a third got on my trail . . . ."
That was when his ship was
damaged.
'1 figured it was curtains if I
tried to straighten out of my
turn so I went overboard," he
said. "My ship landed 100 yards
away and made a smouldering
crater filled with wreckage.
'1 didnt know the native
lingo, but some little brown men
in skirts came out of a village
armed with bows and arrows
and a few shotguns, and we got
along fine with signs. I finally
started hitching on bullock
carts, the headmen sending me
from village to village until I
bunked for the night in one of
their bamboo huts.
"I got up at daylight and
reached a fast-running river. I
don't know the name of it, but
it carried me, on some sort of a
native craft, to a settlement 14
miles from Moulmein where a
British official drove ma In to
town."
