PHRASES COINED BY PILOTS

"He was behaving in a very drunken way." This is not the beginning of a police constable's evidence, but the phrase used by a Hurricane pilot to describe the manoeuvres of a JU, 88 bomber which he had attacked over Eng- land. Fighter pilots, when

they talk about their scraps, often use unexpected and picturesque phrases. A Flight-Lieutenant, who, frequently leads two squad- rons into battle, has a set phrase of his own. "I was. 'driving the train consisting of the A & B SQUADRONS," he writes in his report.

Another Flight Lieutenant hus also described how he "steamed through the whole formation cf enemy aircraft and then broke away downwards." With a touch of the melodramatic, a Pilot Off- cer of a Hurricane Squadron told the Intelligence officer: "The bombers were in very tight but rough formation with the fighters stepped up above. On our proach, the fighters climbed up and formed a 'circle of death'."

ap-

A British pilot soon discovered how best to deal with these "pro- tective circles of Mes." One of them dived into the middle of the circle and flew round in the op- posite direction, picking off the Germans as they came within his sights. Fighter pilots are very modest about their victories. "We just couldn't miss-there were su many of them to shool at," pilot explained. "The enemy air- craft were so thick we had Al- most a permanent target," said a Flying Officer of a Hurricane auxiliary squadron.

But it isn't quite as easy As that.

A disabled JU. 88, the pilot making a desperate effort to re- gain his base across the Chan- nel, was described by a Flight Lieutenant as "crabbing along the

his engines out of action.

This was apparently the sort of target a Spitfire Squadron Lender had been looking for when he toid the intelligence Officer that he had flown down to the coast to "pick off lame ducks going home,"

The "dust-bin" is a common name for the rear gunner's lower position in an enemy bomber.

A German airman was killed when, as the victorious Flying. Officer put it, "his machine did a cartwheel, and the pilot was jet- tisoned into the sea, the aircraft hitting the water at the same time."

With thoughts of the late Ital- |lan air chief, a Pilot Officer of an auxiliary squadron wrote: "when patrolling with my squad- ron I saw a large 'Balbo! of enemy. aircraft approaching from the east."

Said another, when his flight ran into. a violent A.A. barrage, "The flak was so thick you could walk on it."
