Burned RAF

Pilot Got 4 New Evelids

"Eight of us in Spitfires ran into about 60 Messersch mis at around 28,000 feet," Flight Lieutenant Richard Hillary said. "They had the advantage of height. We got five of them and they got me the stooge. I was hit by a cannon shell in the petrol tank. My plane started to burn. I couldn't get the hood open. When I did, it was rather too hot. and I passed out. The machine went into a spin and I fell out at about' 10,000 feet. 1 came to fall- ing through the air, pulled the rip cord and fell in the sea, I was in, the water three hours. It's quite impersonal to me now, but it may be happening to any one over there this minute."

Hillary spent the next six days in a Margate hospital sprayed with tannic acid, eight weeks in a London hos- pital and four months in the Plastic Centre for RAF pilots, where he was operated on three times by Dr Archie Melndoe, from the famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He got two new. upper eyelids in the first operation, two, new lower ones in another, and a new upper lip in the third. He had to have a fourth operation for a mastoid infection brought on by the burns, Hillary says he's going back eventually to get "beautified" some more and have his hands clone- now his little fingers are bent double and his hands covered with scar tissue. When Dr McIndoe is finished Hillary won't have any sears.

Hillary was born in Syd- "ney, Australia, 22 years ago, raised in England and on the Continent. His father is a British Government official.. When he was called up, he wasnt Oxford "reading modern languages —-

French and German-editing the sports page of the Uni- versity paper and rowing on the Trinity College crew. He had done some dying at

an air club near the univer sity, so he went into the RAF.

His first active duty after nine months of training was in'. Scotland. Only single bombers came over.

"It was quite easy to dispose of them. Three planes would go up and shoot at them. You almost felt sorry for them... In Scotland I shot a stag once. It was very unpleasant. It got that look in its eye that You never get from a dead German."

After two months he was trans- ferred to a field near London. On Sept. 3, 1940, at 11 am, one year to the hour after he joined the RAF, he was shot down.

Hillary expects to fly again when Dr. McIndoe is finished with him. His experience "didn't worry me in the least, but it would be a great pity if McIndoe's beautiful work had to be redone. I'll lake. a few more precautions the next time." Now he's in America for six months with the British Pur- chasing Commission. This picture was taken in New York just after he arrived.

When the war's over Hillary wants to go into fournalizen. He doesn't think an Invasion of Eng- land would get far. "A man from. our squadron'. camo' down once... didn't have his tune on and was burned a bit. He was set on by a crowd of angry women with pen- knives and anything they could get. He had to be rescued by bus driver."

The English usually don't. at- lack downed Germans, he added. "We don't want to, until the In- formation people have got every- thing out of them... They do 'ret, a lot of information from then, though the worst kind, will spit in - your eyes when you pick them up,”-

we are already soaked through with American slang you old uns who wince when a small boy yells "Okaydoke" or drawls "Yenh?" you fond parents who reach for the hairbrush when little Henry answers "So what?" when asked whether he's washed his neck, are going to be in for some more shocks pretty

soon.

As the bonds between Bri- tain and America become closer and tighter, you're go- ing to need a dictionary.

Or so I gather from what I've just been reading, in an American magazine.

And, being Bright Young Folk, it's mostly about Love.

You may think you're pretty bright and up to date when you talk about petling or necking.

But you don't do that in America to-day, when you make love.

Instead, you smooch, monk, mug, moustache or hack, and, If you do it in the company of others, you're at a crush party.

Like being kissed in cars? If so, little girl, you're a fever, a cuddlecnt, or a mug- bug. If not, you're a door. pusher,-

How a naval gunner'a took three German prisoners in "rather peculiar circumstances" was related by Vice-Admiral Sir Geoffrey Blake, an assistant Chief of the Naval Staff, when ho opened War Weapons Week at Hythe and Beaulieu, Hants, recently.

He said the mon's ship had been, sunk by German aircraft and he was supporting himself in the sea on a piece of wreckage, when he sAW what he took to be a rott. He swim over to it, but found to his rurprise that it was a rubber dinghy from the German acroplane which had sunk his ship. The aircraft had been hit and had crashed, and in the dinghy were three of its crew. As he started to pull himself into it the German airmen handed over their revolvers and surrendered to. him, He was picked up later a very proud man.
