Or maybe your "victory roll warned him anyway . . . Who knows? Day after day, through the early part of November, we actually prayed that the weather East would clear, so that we could stop our small, piddling attacks on Burma and go back to Hongkong. I knew that General Chennault and Colonel Cooper were planning a big one for the next time, for now we had the largest force of fighters we had ever had been seen in China. New arriving in small numbers, but steadily. The Group was actually being built up to strength at last. With the first breaks in the heavy winter clouds, Bert Carleton was sent with his transport and our ground personnel to Kweilin. Aviation fuel and bombs were placed ready for instant use, and I could feel the tension in the air again. From the daily reports on the net it could be seen that the Japanese had maintained a constant aerial patrol over Hongkong and vicinity since our last attack. With the first break in the clouds we sent observation planes over with Pilots waiting for the order is go Into the air. Sitting at the crude table, waiting for the chow wagon or for an alert Listening with keen ears for the jingle of the telephone. Playing gin rummy or poker, but hearing everything that was going on. A player would be dealing the deck, and in the middle of the routine of dropping a card here, and one there, the phone would ring. The card would stop in the air, poised over the table while we all heard the Chinese interpreters pick up the magneto phone and utter the familiar Wey wey, as they say hello." The card would remain there over the table, undealt throughout the telephone conversation until the player realized what he was doing. Then hed go hesitatingly on. Perhaps the call was one of the hundreds that meant nothing; only the Chinese really knew, and we could only wait and find out. Then again, the receiver of the telephone might drop back into place and the interpreter would say something to another Chinese. This second one look would go to the plotting-boarand quiat the marked etly put a little red flag down over a certain city towards Japanese territory. Even then, with one warning only, the game could go on for a long time in confidence. Perhaps the Squadron commander or the officer who was on the alert that day would move out of the game and start looking the map and the flags over, sizing up the As the picture formed situation. and it became apparent that this was a real attack hed just go over about it Or and tell the card-gam- e maybe two or three men would begin to get helmets out The game would silently break up, with cards and CN left where they were. Helmets and gloves would be put on. Men who were pretending to be sleeping in the bags on the floor would be awakened. And the tension dropped off like a cloak. It wasn',t the actual combat these fighter pilots feared, for we all wanted combat more than anything else; it was the damnable uncertainty the ringing of a telephone, an- ominous sound that most of the time meant nothing. When men went out of the door to get into their ships and take off there was no handing to friends on the ground of last letters to take care of, no entrusting of rings and For fighter watches to room-matepilots dont think of not coming back. They are invincible, or think they are, and they have to be that way. Down in our hearts we may figure that some accident will get us some day, when we are old and gray, when our beards get In the way of the controls, or we get to where we dont see well or react fast but we know that no enemy fighter is good enough to shoot us down. If that happens its Just an accident. These thoughts are the chips that we carry on our shoulders, and they have to be there arrogant, egotistical chips mellowed by flying technique and experience and fortiNever fied by the motto, Attack! be on the defensive. Shoot the enemy down before he can shoot you You are better than he is, down. but dont give him a chance. He may get in a lucky shot but youre Invincible. Move towards any dot in the sky that remotely resembles an airplane. Move to attack, with switches on and the sight ready. If Its not a ship or if its a friendly one youll be ready anyway, and your arrogant luck will last a lot longer. The worry comes before you get to take off for combat wondering whether or not youll do the right thing out of habit After youre in the air its all the fun of flying and doing the greatest Job In the world. You are up there, pitying all earth bound creatures who are not privileged to breathe this purer air on high. Your training makes you do the combat work that is ahead without thinking about the movements. Months and years of training hours of waiting on the ground . engines pulling you up and up to the attack and then in a few fleeting seconds the combat Is over, your ship is all thats in the sky. and youre on the way home again to base, whistling and thinking how easy it was and what a great and glorious life it really is. Youre wondering if you can pick those cards up and finish the game and take your CN back from Ajax or Johnny or Mack. You might be thinking how good that sleeping bag is going to feel or wondering whether the transports that can land on the field, now that the air raid alert is over, have brought you any wonder if Dog-gonmail . . me?
