DROWNED
(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL")
AMY JOHNSON, the famous British aviatrix with a remarkable list of record long-distance flights, including the east to west crossing of the Atlantic in a light sports 'plane, is feared to have drowned while serving in the R.A.F. Auxiliary Service.

A spred-boat hurried to the rescue, but only found the papers authorising the flight.
An
official announcement
says that the aviatrix is "mles-
ing, feared drowned."
It will be recalled that in 1934, while visiting the United States, she predicted that women would participate in military aviation in the next war and that she would volunteer.

Even in the midst of war man never seems to
the beautiful. That is one lose his appreciation of of the curiosities of hu- man nature. Recently, an R.A.F. pilot, having re- ported the details of his attack on the Fiat works at Turin, spent the rest of the day telling his com- panions in the Mess all about the magnificent view he had had of Mont Blanc as he flew back over France.
He had set off from his base in England just as the moon was there were rising, and, though patches of cumulus cloud over the French coast and some fire from the German ground defences, in- land the sky was clear and below When he reached all was quiet. the Alps there was a bright moon shining on the snow-covered slopes of the mountains. They looked beautiful, with Mont Blanc sticking up above the others, its long summit three thousand feet below the pilot and lower still the mountains sharp peaks of other clustering around it.
"I have never seen a sight like it," the pilot said. "On our way back from Turin we were be- tween the moon and the moun- tains, and I drew a picture in my log book of the towering mass of Mont Blanc glistening even more sharply in the moonlight and standing out high above the cloud base below. It was the last mem- orable sight before our Journey home, which was uneventful ex- cept for more 'flak' over the French coast. I hope it won't be | long before I see that sight again.”
That the journey means a non- stop flight of 1,600 miles is of no account.

LONDONERS A Lifetime Of Adventure
A young officer of the R.A.F., veteran of many long-distance raids over Germany, was posted to London. What he saw so amazed him that he wrote to his friends:
*We have had an extremely [noisy time lately, nightly raids and six or seven raids a day. The major nuisance at night time is the gunfire which at times is plain hell; I have moved from one lot of digs as the windows and roof were removed by H. E's that fell 25 yards away. Fortunately - they fell in the grounds of a college, and the major portion of the damage was caused by large bunks of a concrete squash court. that were hurled for distances of from ten to 25 yards.
"The amazing thing here in London town, is the spirit of the man in the street. After three weeks of night raids, lasting from 8 p.m. to 6.a.m. and then spas- modic daylight raids, people are more, perky than they were before the fun started; and it's all taken asia matter of course.”:
