It plays for 3 days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Scera Theatre. Assembled for various reasons of their own on the first front of the war, these lads, who include in-clude John Wayne, the squadron leader: John Carroll, the braggadocio, brag-gadocio, Edmund MacDonald, the contrite, Paul Kelly, the steady and stolid, and Gordon Jones, the slow but good-natured, give us a page of American history of which we can be proud. Scenes of the patient, suffering Chinese and of the 'thrilling air battles are unforgettable.
