Montgomery surptised the Germans with his tactics at F.l Ala-mein when, after carrying out a clever bluff by earnout laging his armored strength, he sent his toughest infantiy into moonlight battle ahead of tanks Since that day he has made the infantry the spearhead of all of his big attacks, in direct contradiction to the Nazis slavish devotion to armed warfare. Sometimes the infantry attacks on moonlit nights. But at the Gabes Gap, Montgomery again crossed up the enemy by attacking in the dark of the moon under a terrific artilleiy bombardment.

But there was not space aboard for everybody. Aerial Gunner S-Sgt. Herbert M.

Wheatley of Los Angeles stepped out to make room for Lieut. Paul S. Miller of Dos Palos, Calif a pilot. Miller objected, but then realized the cold military logic of the situation. Pilots were needed desperately in Australia to form an aeiial barrier reef that would shatter the surging tide of the initial Jap offensive.

In this case the gunner was expendable. The plane took off as Jap dive bombers howled dpwn at the field The passengers (including Lieutenant Commander John Buckley, PT-Boat hero, and Captain Jesus Villa-mor, Filipino ace) wondered what would become of those left behind Grimly, Miller thought of Wheat-ley. But today he knows the answer and after a year his mind is at ease The two met again at the Santa Ana Air Base wheie Wheatley is now an aviation cadet, learning to be a pilot. Miller is stationed at a nearby field. Wheatley told the pilot a Mitchell bomber rescued them live days later.

Miller revealed Wheat-levs sacrifice made it possible lor him to fight oxer New Guinea, where he strafed Jap troops and shot down a Zero.
