OUR MEN AND WOMEN fTm IN SERVICE km An interesting story is found in the letter which was recently received by Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Dutton of route 1 box 935, Klam ath Falls, from their son, Harry L. (Dutton) , Dvid, stationed somewhero in England with the 8th air force. .David describes an operational mission over Ger many in one letter home: "At about 3:30 a. m. an order ly steps into the mission hut where I and seven other officers sleep ahd shakes me. "Get up, David, you fly. briefing at 4:30." I jump out of my nice warm "sack' and stop into my "Long Johns," as well as any other heavy clothes I can find, for it gets plenty cold up there. I go out and throw a little cold water on my face, wash my teeth and go eat. I just barely cot to briefing on time. .Then roll )s called and.' all crews not flying are kicked' out. This briefing is only xor authorized personnel, naturally. ' About this time, tension is built up and wild guesses race through our minds as to where the mission is to be. The screen is rolled up and either a sigh or a groan emerges from us, de pending on what the mission is as ft is revealed to us. We are then hastily and thoroughly briefed on the mission and then go to our locker rooms to dress. As it seems to. me, not a single thought is . cast toward the mission, as everyone is joking, laughing, and playing around like a bunch of kids. ' We then go to our ships, check everything, and take off. High above- England; usually over an undercast of clouds, hundreds of planes are assembled and at a set time, stream out over tne cnan nel or North sea. Even now little thought Is given to the danger that lies ahead. Soon the navi gator , calls "enemy coast in sight," and everyone puts on his flak vests and helmets and checks his guns. What a mess. All that cloth ing, flak suits, head sets, mics, oxygen masKs, and nose. ' About now a slight tension is built up on expectations' of the opposition. Sometimes we're lucky, and sometimes not so lucky. I am in the nose turret scanning for enemy fighters I pray . are not there, and trying not to look at the flak. When we reach our initial point, I get on the bomb sight and start looking for my briefed target.- The bomb bay doors are ODened and those innocent look ing bombs are poised for action of death and destruction on those below. About now. the flak is becoming intense and uncomfort ably close, for every once In a while, you feel, the ship give a wild lurch and hear a crunching ph-f-f-f-f-ing sound. . I holler "bombs away" and they begin on their long graceful fall. It is now that I realize just how much and how accurate that flak 'really is, for all around is an intense black cloud of flak smoke with an occasional red or purple or even white burst. There may be a bright red flash as a bomber blows up, or one may make a slow, even, circling descent towards destruction, and you see chutes blossom and pray that all came out. It has been all during this time that I have been scared, pitifully scared. The flak may subside as we leave the target, but then is when to watch lor those deadly fignt ers who occasionally get through our fighter escorts, Uod- Bless them. They are Deautlful up tnere circling our formation like an old hen watching her cnlcks. And when those enemy fighters clo attack, they are iar more deadly and destructive than any flak tnat can be thrown up at us, with their twenty MM guns Dursting name ana shells at us, You manage to ,. offstand them and on your way home you fly over guns who track you. You sit there fascinated by the beau tiful black burst as they track you, and as each burst comes nearer, you brace your self expecting the next one to be yours. About now you take off your mask and break the ice that has formed in it, due to perspiration of your face, although it is be-. tween 3D and 40 degrees below zero. At last the . navigator calls, "We are now leaving the enemy coast," and a great relief comes over us. We land at our field, some crash land, some have en gines shot out, but we land, and wonaer now we ever made it. We then go to an interrogation, eat. and go to bed and sleep like babies. Its been a rough day There's very seldom another word said about the mission. , a . Leonard G. Olson. -MM 3c, U. S. navy, is now getting his mail in care of the ileet post office, San Francisco, according to wora received Dy nis motner, Mrs. Howard Joneschiet of Jack son, Calif. Olson is a former Bly resident, having been employed Dy tne ivory .Fine Lumber com pany before joining the navy. - WITH THE FIFTH ARMY. Italy Now hauling ammunition and supplies over the "last mile to fighting infantrymen on the fifth army front, PFC Theodore "Ted" Knight, Chiloquin, Ore., is a member of a unit that has a slogan "anything,, anytime, any where.' ' Operating on a 24-hour sched ule, Private Knight and his pla toon keep the "dogfaces" in their foxholes supplied with ammuni tion, rations, dry socks, foot pow der, mail, magazines 'and any thing needed at the front. It is no easy delivery, route for fre quently the men - are spotted by nazi observers and are forced to take cover, in nearby : foxholes while shells pound the 'area. Nearly- everything is carried up the mountain by mule pack or pack board. One difficulty is getting the mules safely to cover during a shelling and several have been killed or wounded. Many times Knight's platoon is called upon . to build, bridges or clear mines ahead of the troops. Recents it led - a combat ; pa- . Pleas Call for Pictures An accumulation of several score pictures of Klamath men in service at The Herald and News office is a reminder to the families of these men to call for the pictures. ' As soon as a picture has ap peared in the paper, the orig inal can be returned to a member of his family who may call at the newspaper of fice at any time for it. If a picture has not yet ap peared, do not call, as the print will be needed for mak ing the cut for later use. trol Into enemy territory, clear ing a path through a minefield before the advancing patrol. On hands and knees, Anignt and the other members of his unit felt every inch of the rocky path and removed mines ana DooDy traps. The mission was successfully completed.
