A fourth round of hearts was ruffed with the spade eight, East meanwhile discarding another club.

Cable messages in the last fortnight have told of the stirring success of dynamic R.A.F. operations over the invasion ports, northern France and western Germany. This article takes you behind the scenes at an R.A.F. base before one of these flights.

Daylight Sweep

Mid-day

Some-

thing new and thrilling is on at the aerodrome. A wave of

excitement

courses through the Squadron Leader's office, the Intelligence Room, the pilots' huts. An R.A.F. Daylight Sweep is "on."

I did not need to ask which of the pilots were going France that day to give protection to the bombers who would rain high ex- plosive on Hitler's inva- sion ports and dromes. Expectancy, or envy, was written all over their faces. To be out of a daylight sweep, even for a day, means just blank disappointment.

aero-

As I sat with the Squa- dron Leader, his tele- phone buzzed incessantly. He had already passed on to his pilots Fighter Com- mand's orders, and talked to them personally on at- tacks, routes, everything. The Intelligence Officer had added his own in- structions.

One by one the leader's right-hand pilots with whom I chatted in the room excused themselves, sidled out to complete the

their hush-hush mission.

"How", I asked one of

"do them,

know. you where you are to be and what you are to do in one or other of these huge formations, for there must be scores if not hun- dreds of machines over the target area at much the same time, bombers

and fighters alike?"

ELABORATE PLANNING

"The complicated general plan must Hometimes give Bomber and Fighter Com- mands a headache", he an- swered, "but for us individu- ally or as a squadron, a sweep is very simple."

"Before taking off we are given a general idea of what we have to do and of our posi- tion in the air. We have a rendezvous Komewhere

route, and one squadron will lend from there.

"The rest is tean work, which is a maiter of training and experience. In a football jam everybody knows what to do.

Much the same with us. If we attack an enemy forma- tion or single planes, or if we are attacked the flight com- mander may say through his wireless

the 'I'm taking lender. You take so and so', We know the or he may not. man we should tackle."

I asked another pilot for an explanation of the mystery of the daylight sweeps that chiefly puzzles the public: That is the surprising fact that in most of them the Ger- mans have failed to shoot down a solitary machine and it other cases only one or two.

NOT TO BE MISSED "Surprise!" he said. "We're too quick for them. It's all over before they quite realise what is happening. That, and of course the way the Taids are planned-and--or-- ganised by Bomber and Figh- ter Commands."

"Well, goodbye for a little while interrupted the Squa- dron Leader, grabbing my. hand and bolting through the door. "We'll continue our conversation at lunch."

"What, is he going, too?", I asked his deputy.

"Going? You couldn't keep him out of it", he laughed.

There is a hum

- across the airfield. The first section of Hurricanes is tak- ing off, and the deafening challenging note is taken up by a second, third, fourth sec- tion as they roar into action.

"The famous Millionaires' Squadron", said my inform- ant, "Look!". he added, thrilled

admiration. into "See how their undercarriages are going up, almost before they are off the ground. That's confidence and skill, for you. Beautiful!"

The last section had hardly tarmac before a left the

roar begun. second great Spitfires! Away they went- sections one, two, three, four.

"The Poles !" said the leader's deputy, "Crucks, every one of them. Million- aires and Free exiled Poles as station companions. What a democratic combination.”

"Well", he added. "They'll be darned disappointed if they don't get any fun to- day"

The Squadron Leader kept his

appointment. He Was back at two for lunch,

"And fun?** I asked. "Not a darned thing", he smiled, sadly. "Didn't see a Messerschmitt. Better luck perhaps to-morrow."

"Good bombing?"

"You bet. You'll read all about it in to-night's Air Ministry Communique"
