Pilots Who Have Bailed Out

LONDON, Sept. 1 (Reuter).-A second instance, within a few days, of a British pilot descending by para- chute being deliberately machine-gunned by a German fighter is reported from the south-eastern district.

During a fight with three Messerchmitts on Saturday, a British plane was shot down. As the pilot descended, an eye-witness saw one of the Nazi machines detach itself from the others and circle round the descending pilot.

A burst of machine-gun fire was heard and when the parachutist landed it was found that he had been shot through the heart.
