of

Even in the midst war man never seems to

lose his appreciation of the beautiful. That is one 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.

were

He had set off from his base in England just as the moon was rising, and, though there patches of cumulus cloud over the French coast and some fire from the German ground defences, in- land the sky was clear and below all was quiet.

When he reached

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... Between Dusk & Dawn!

veteran

A young officer of the R.A.F., 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 hunks 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, 8 a.m. and then spas- modic daylight raids, people are moré perky than they were before the fun started; and it's all takér las a matter of course,
