Propellorless Comet Fight

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

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

still is unannounced. Judsinn
from the demonstratibn, how
ever, they appeared much faster
than Hellcats, Corsairs. Kine-

also flew against our bombers.
