There were five bursts in bunch and a single, burst north at 20,000 feet. Three minutes later nine MJE. 110's were sighted flying west from Thionville, They were 4,000 feet above our section of aircraft which was then at 22,000 feet. I decided to climb and get -on their tails and I called Tallyhol' to my section. As we were climbing below and a little to one side of the enemy they saw us and turned to attack.

Three of their aircraft remained in position while the rest followed their leader. "The enemy leader came straight at me and he and I fired head on at each other." His bunt was cannon and incendiary bullets and one cannon shell penetrated my port leading edge, went through the main spare petrol tank ana shrapnel pierced the hood. "Oil poured out into the cockpit from the main tank, almost blinding me but I decided to finish up my ammunition before breaking off the combat I fired at four different aircraft and saw one go spinning down completely out of control. As I watched it go down another MX 110 got on my tail and I had to dodge out of it as I had no ammunition left I then came home." Brings Squadron Borne. So, after three weeks of nonstop dogfights, the original pilots of No.

1 Squadron, less two offi cers killed in action, returned to England. It -would have been criminal to keep them at it in France for another single patrol. No all Goerlngs legions could get them. But nature did; The boys would fall asleep talking to 'you. If they sat down' for a minute, they'd be asleep.

The Bull wasn't having any of his men killed because they fell asleep in the air. He brought the squadron, home practically intact' Another week, and I think they'd have all perished, Today those pilots, who proved to the world that no type of aircraft in operation in the German Air Force was a match for the five-year-old Hurricane, are "veteran" Instructors at an operational training station In I visited them since I stared this book and watched them telling the future aces of the R-AT. how to tackle the Mes- serch mitts, Dornlers, Junkers, Heinkels and Henschels. Then several of them would Jump into their, Hurricanes and go up and 'Wx it" while the pupils watched I them through field glasses. Some of the "veterans" would be Nazis for the occasion, and others would just be themselves.

They'd go through the lessons they learned in France and carry out the "attacks" their O.C. had made them learn by heart during those long Winter nights at Neuville. I heard them telling the eager young pilots to7 whose intensive training they were putting the finishing touches the same thing their O.C. drilled Into them in FREE FROM NAZIS Although only two-and-a-half years old, Irene Helnbock knows what the Inside of a Nasi concentration camp looks like.

With the memories of their own hectic combats during the first days of the May blitzkrieg fresh In their minds, the young "veter ans" told their eager pupils all thejr knew and that was plenty. The young men who are passing through this final training station are lucky to have such Instructors, the same age as themselves but with their blue-and-whltt T.C ribbons telling of spurs that have been won In combat already.

They go out with one ambition to be as good pilots as their young instructors and to do the same things to tubby Goer-Ing's airmen over Britain as their Instructors did to them over the skies of France.
