FLOCKING HOME TO FLY

Four young British residents in the Bahamas arrived recently in England to train for flying duties in the R.A.F. All have had flying experience in fight aircraft, hav- ing learned to fly at their own ex- pense. One holds a Canadian running record.

These four men are typical of those who are now arriving in a 'steady stream in Britain under the Overseas Recruiting Scheme. Un- der this scheme British subjects abroad who volunteer for air crew duties are provided with passages home. The men who have arrived en far have been of the best type. Over 80 per cent of them have been accepted for training AS pilots

MR. WILLKIE FINDS R.A.F. HELPFUL

Mr. Willkie's

last glimpse of the West of England, where his English soil was at an airfeld in plane was

refuelled before its

long hop to Lisbon.

It was a wintry

"Thanks, I've had breakfast," answered Mr. Willkie, "but if you could raise a packet of chewing gum would be glad of it,"

As usual the R.A.F. was ready to be helpful. A sergeant who was The "Old 301," famous transportį present hurried off to the nearest canteen. No luck. He tried the plane owned by America's Truns-
