THOUSANDS OF
'EAGER YOUNG
MEN" TRAINED
THERE HAVE BEEN over one thousand raids by the British Air Force on Germany and German Joccupied countries in the three months ended in August and in these a magnificent part has been played by the Air Gunners.
At the training stations the "crew spirit" is built up and pilots, observers, air gunners and wire- less operators are taught their responsibilities to each other. The pilot's life may depend on the air gunner and in the same way his safety depends upon the pilot.
The maintenance of its forma-0 tion is a factor upon which the security of a force of bombers largely depends and. this calls for complete discipline and instant obedience to orders from the pi- lots. There are times when the gunner must hold his fire though his natural inclination may be to give his opponent every round of ammunition he has got and the wireless operator, who works un- der conditions of extreme difficul- ty, must devote all his attention to his job.
In all these qualities British air- men are supreme and every week the stations of the Bomber Com- mand Training Group are turning out thousands of eager young men, ranging in age from 19 to 23, who have been taught how to carry out all kinds of bombing attacks and have also studied fighting tactics and the problems of evading enemy defences,
They have attended lectures on airmanship, reconnaissance, operations, tactics and meteoro- logy. In the air their Instruc- tion is equally intensive.

LIFE IN LONDON NOT SO BAD
What it feels like to be in London at present, with all the restrictions in force, is humourously des- cribed by the father of a Shanghai resident in a letter to his son, just ré- ceived. The letter is dated August 2, before the in- tensification of the Nazi air attacks upon the city. Before that date, never- theless, there had been a number of raids, though the mass attacks did not begin in earnest until August 8. The letter follows:-
"Life is very difficult these days. For weeks I've had noth- ing to eat but food and me with a weak stomach and no hair on my chest. S'awful, but there, you know all about it from the for- cign wireless I expect? I haven't an allotment but I think the lat- raid est idea is splendid. Air shelters are built under the allot- ments so that radishes, lettuce cucumbers, etc., can be pulled from underneath without the al-
lotmenteer exposing himself to Simple, and makes the whole thing like a pic- someone forgets the nic if only can opener and salt. +
