Hlll-flehl- Born and reared in Alaska, Ace (that's actually his middle name) White learned to fly at the age of 14. He got his pilot's license at 16, and within a few years was flying for Taca Airlines in Central America and acting as crew chief Academies at Rankin and in California. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in July, 1941, was an instructor until he transferred to the U. S. Army Air Forces last September. Which brings us to the beginning of our story: By way of Ireland and England, the pilot went to an advanced allied air base in North Africa last December. There he began over four months in one of the most dangerous jobs in the Air Forces fighter pilot on long-ranmissions. Lieut White flew the same 8 Lightning, "a sweet little baby named Janet," on 20 trips into enemy territory. They brought down three ME 109s, two Focke-Wu- lf 190s and a ME 210 between January 8 and March 11, all victories confirmed by intelligence officers. A couple of weeks after Janet brought down her sixth victim chase over the following a Mediterranean, she and her pilot were forced into a crash landing. Lieut. White shot his way out of the cockpit of his burning plane . with his pistol before he fainted . from injuries. The citation which- - acompanied Lieut White's award of the Dis tinguished Flying Cross states that It is for "outstanding and meritori ous achievement in the North African campaign." It continues . "Lieut White has to his credit the destruction of a total of six enemy planes in air between December 23, '42, and March 25, '43. Lieut White has made an out' Standing record in the destruction of enemy planes in North Africa. A skillful and daring pilot he has participated in many combats. His 20 sorties, the great majority of them over 2'4 hours, have been made principally as bomber escort over Tunisia and the Med iter ranean.
