I i I MEDFORD FLYER HAS CLOSE CALL ON PACIFIC HOP Hqs., Tenth Air Force In Burma An unarmed C-47 transport of a Tenth Air Force Combat Cargo group was re cently Jumped by four Jap Zeros over north Burma during a supply dropping mission over the forward areas In the north Burma campaign. None of the crew of the plane was aware of the Japs' presence until the rat tle of machine gun fire tore through the loaded C-47. The scream of a wounded food kick er gave grim testimony of the Nips' attack. - Following up their Initial attack, which re sulted in the killing of one food kicker, the wounding of Cpl. James F. Fry, 20 Chestnut street, Medford, Ore., and SSgt. James Trogiia, Globe, Ariz., made a second run on the tail of the- defenseless plane. . The Zero's guns were finally exhausted and he was forced to flee from the threat of inter cepting Tenth Air Force P-47's which, incidentally, did inter cept and shoot down, four of the attackers. With five of the crew wound ed and a sixth killed, the com bat cargo plane, through the skillful piloting of Lt. Robert Severson, landed safely at an advanced Tenth Air Force strip although riddled with countless bullet holes. A pleasant note to the story is that all men wounded have recovered. Cpl. Fry was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross In December and received two oak leaf clusters to his air medal the same month. His wife makes her home with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P.
