JETS INDICATE SPEED IN MOCK AERIAL ATTACK Propellorless Comet Fight ers Noiseless Until Well Past Objectives By Don Caswell (UP Staff Correspondent) Modoc Dry Lake. Calif.. Nov. 13 (U.PJ Suddenly a silver streak flashed under the waist gun window which I was man- rtln'. "Jets!" shouted voices on the intercom, and the men on our training flight became doubly aiert. A moment later they were back again. Jets. They were high above us at "three o'clock," out of range, but slowed now to our speed. Then, In a flash they burred down and across our formation, turned and came at us in twos and fours, attacking head-on, literally running rings around the slow bombers. A lew minutes before, in. a briefing session on the ground, Capt. Thomas Esmond had told our crowd of 200 Liberator crew men that "part of the intercep tion will be by Jets." Five Hour Mission ' We had taken off at dawn on a five-hour training mission over southern California, anxious to see these new jet-propelled P-59 Airo-Comet fighters. We saw them at times. Navy Corsair fiehters first jumped our 18 lumbering Lib erators over the Mojave desert. Our gunners quickly spotted them and "tracked" them as they darted in to attack. Then the silver flashes came. exhaling double smoke trails. There was something about them that suggested metal swal lows in flight. The Corsairs had come at us with their huge "meat chopper" propellors beat ing the air. They were terrify- ing. The propellorless jets flash ed in and out of range noise lessly. You don't hear a thing until they are well past you. Jets Fast Our bomber formation cruised out to sea for the benefit of navigators taking celestial train ing, then wo flew back to the Muroc army airfield. As we landed, the Aircomets and the new P-63 Kingcobras strafed the field. The P-63 is no milk wagon for speed, but the Aircomets smoked past ' and seemed to run and hide from them. The jets streaked over the field at 30 feet with a whistling "whoosh." Resembles Muatsno The Aircomet rouehlv resem bles a mustang in silhouette, with square wingtips and a slim mer fuselage. Under the wing, close to the fuselage, are two blister-shaped nacelles that re place the propellor. They fly without vibration, re- duclng pilot fatigue, and they are ready to leave the ground with virtually no warming up because their power plants are without moving parts and oiling problems. The stina they pack in mount ed guns is considerable. Techni cal data on their performance still is unannounced. Judsinn from the demonstratibn, how ever, they appeared much faster than Hellcats, Corsairs. Kine- cobras and Lightnings which also flew against our bombers. Good Samaritan Pays S32S Toledo, O.
