A Canadian pilot officer also dealt swiftly and severely with a straggler from a formation of between 80 and 90 enerny air- craft.

"I made three attacks," he said, "and the Arst silenced the rear gunner who had opened fire on me. Then smuke came from the bomber and the starboard motor stopped.

He came down on a civil aero- drome, and three of the crew got out and were captured."

After shooting down a strag. gling Dornier bomber a Hurri- cane plot had the unpleasant experience of a "lap full of petrol" when his tank was hit! hy the fire of another enemy aircraft,

"We sighted a large formation of enemy bombers, and I saw, one machine-a Dornier-out of for mation, so I chased it" the pilot said. "I closed and I felt my air- craft hit several times by rear gun fire from another of the enemy.

"I gave one good burst of fire into the starboard side of the Dornier. Then my centre tank burst and I had a lap full of petrol, I was struck in the face by a piece of bullet, so I broke off the attack, switched off my engine and petrol and dived away.

"I forced landed in a field. An Army officer and some soldiers. who came up to my aircraft and ubsequently guarded it, told me they had seen my scrap, and had watched the bomber dive down in

from flemes about eight miles where I landed.”
