and Hotel, Madrid,

Bor- deaux's Royal Gascogne during the bitter days of those countries' struggles. Suddenly the swinging door revolved and into the brilli- ant light walked a young R.A.F. pilot with parachute harness, fly- ing boots, and gear. He had a deep cut down his forehead.

Quickly a crowd gathered round, but he made straight for a group captain in one corner. Later I was invited to join them, and his story came out,

He had been in a flerce dog- Aght over the South-East Coast There were lots of Germans probably that big formation which had tried to get through to Lon- don but did not succeed.

Could Not Bale Out

His story of the fight was slight- ly confused. He only knew it was a hot one, with lots and lots of 'planes all mixed up. He thought he had brought down one Nazi, uny way, and just as he was straightening up to attack another he saw flying beside his Spitfire an enemy aircraft.

"Suddenly he gave it to me and I knew he'd got me," sald the pilot. "I tried to bale out, but couldn't make it, so I made a crash landing in a field. My Spitfire's tall was hanging by only four rivets.”

In his crash landing he had hit his head against the windshield, but the farmer in whose field he bad landed helped him to £x that up and fed him. Then he started to make his way back to bis station somewhere north of Lon- don, He had got as far as Lon- dor when night and a raid made it difficult for him to find his way to the station. Someone in a pri- vate car had picked him up near the station and dropped him on the doorstep of the hotel.

I asked for him later, but they said he had gone off to his squa- | dron.

"ALL SERGEANTS". RAID

One of the recent very success- ful raids on the German-occupied aerodrome at St. Omer was car- ried out entirely by Sergeants.. Each of the bombers engaged had a sergeant pilot at the controls, accompanied by a sergeant obser- ver and a sergeant air gunner..

Several of the sergeant pilots were old hands,: but one making: his first raid on the enemy, was also the first to reach the target, As soon as he dropped his bombs a cluster of searchlights caught and, held his aircraft, and while it was still in the beam several
