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.

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.
