AMERICANS JOIN R.A.F. "FOR THE HELL OF IT" TO GET CRACK AT HITLER
LONDON, Oct. 14-Eleven young Americans, ranging in ages from 19 to 32. were preparing with the Royal Air Force today to fight against Nazi Germany, "just for the hell of it," writes Ned Russell in the Manila Bulletin.
That is the spirit that made them leave their homes in Texas. Utah, California, Ohio, Wisconsin and New Jersey to cross the Canadian border and sign up with the R.A.F. with commissions as pilot officers.
