A food-dropping mission to the
Chinese troops on the Bharno
front was the objective of Lt.
William M. Tavenner, Klamath
Falls, and Lt. William C. Pool,
Thorndale, Tex., members of a
10th air force combat cargo
unit, when the Burma buzzard
suddenly smashed into the cock
pit of their C-47.
The two lieutenants had Just
changed seats, Pool taking the
pilot's seat and Tavenner the co
pilot's. Lt. Pool saw the bird Just
m time to shout at Tavenner,
who jerked away, thus avoiding
being struck full in the face by
the buzzard.
Lt. Pool, although bleeding
profusely, stayed at the controls
while TSgt. Rudolph Meduna
of Weston, Nebr., and the "kick
er" crew carried Lt, Tavenner,
who was knocked unconscious
by tho blow, to the rear of the
plane.
After administering first aid,
TSgt. Meduna returned to the
cockpit and took the co-pilot's
scat. In spite of painful eye in
juries, he took over the controls
of the plane for about 20 min
utes. After completing the food
dropping mission, the men flew
more than 100 miles to a 10th
air force strip, where an ambu
lance was waiting. Both lieuten
ants were treated for concussion
and severe lacerations at the
field hospital.

force has achieved air superior
