the Intelligence Room, the pilots' huts. An R.A.F. Daylight Sweep is "on."
I did not need to ask which of the pilots were going over northern France that day to give protection to the bombers who would rain high ex- plosive on Hitler's inva- sion ports and aero- dromes. Expectancy, or envy, was written all over their faces. To be out of a daylight sweep, even for a day, means just blank disappointment.
As I sat with the Squa- dron Leader, his tele- phone buzzed incessantly. He had already passed on to his pilots Fighter Com- mand's orders, and talked to them personally on at- tacks, routes, everything. The Intelligence Officer had added his own in- structions.
:
One by one the leader's right-hand pilots with whom I chatted in the room excused themselves, sidled out to complete the their preparations for hush-hush mission.
"How", I asked one of them, "do
know you
where you are to be and what you are to do in one or other of these huge formations, for there must be scores if not hun- dreds of machines over the target area at much the same time, bombers and fighters alike?"
--ELABORATE PLANNING
"The complicated general plan must sometimes give Bomber and Fighter Com- mands a headacho", he on- swered, "but for us individu- ally or as a squadron, a sweep. la very simple."
"Before taking off we are given a general filen of what we have to do and of our posi- tion in the air. We have a rendezvous somewhere CR route, and one squadron will lend from there.

the taking leader. You take so and so', or he may not. We know the man we should tackle."
I asked another pilot for an explanation of the mystery of the daylight sweeps that chiefly puzzles the public. That is the surprising fact that in most of them the Ger- mans have failed to shoot down a solitary machine and in other cases only one or two.
NOT TO BE MISSED "Surprise!" he said. "We're too quick for them. It's all over before they quite realise what is happening. That, and of course the way the raids-are-planned-and--or- ganised by Bomber and Figh- ter Commands."
"Well, goodbye for a little while interrupted the Squa- dron Leader, grabbing my hand and bolting through the door. "We'll continue our conversation at lunch."
"What, is he going, too?", I asked his deputy.
"Going? You couldn't keep him out of it", he laughed,

"And fun?" I asked.
"Not a darned thing", he smiled, sadly. "Didn't see a Messerschmitt. Better luck perhaps to-morrow." "Good bombing?” "You bet. You'll read all about it in to-night's Air Ministry Communique"

Contributes Commission To War Funds
Apologising for making a small donation to the Bomber Fund, Mr K. C. Chiu, of K. C. Chiu Company, Hongkong, writes to explain that since last year, he has been contri- buting all income on commission from his London and Bradford con- nections to British war funds.
In support of this, Mr Chit has sent us on original letter from the Crossley Textile Co., Ltd., of Brnd- ford, which states in part, "We find it dificult to adequately express our appreciation of your generosity. We can assure you that your sympathy and goodwill greatly encourage us in these dimeult days." The letter con- tained a reply from Lord Beaver- brook's Secretary.
Like the majority of local business houses in the piece-goods trade, con- dillons have been extremely dimeult during the war, and the fact that Mr Chiu has been contributing to the British Government to the very limit of his ability, is most gratifying, and sele a fine example.
