"As quick as we could, we began flying missions. Each Fortress had brought out about fifteen men from Del Monte, and they got to work putting the planes back into shape. But the missions were terribly long. It was seventeen hundred miles from Darwin back to Del Monte almost as far as from New York to Denver. We'd leave Darwin in the morning, fly all day, land at Del Monte after dark to be safe from the Japs, service the plane, eat, catch a little nap, and then gas up in time to be off for an early morning' bombing of the Jap invasion fleet off Luzon. Then back to Del Monte it was daylight now and risky as hell, so get in quick, gas up, load bombs, and get the hell out fast and away to an afternoon target, coming back toward Del Monte in the darkness, thank God, when no Jap pursuits are hanging around, arriving about midnight, a cat nap again, gas up, and you're off for Australia. "Think of the pilots and crews going through that grind day after day. You might fly eighteen hours straight and be out of the cockpit for only one of them. "And yet the thing we dreaded most was Christmas. It was right ahead of us now Christmas in defeat and on this barren, hot, dusty desert field, with no word or mail from home and no way to get word back to them. We'd send cables we knew would never be answered, because we could give no address." "I'll put my Christmas up against the one you had," said Frank, going on with his story. "We were all feeling low. We knew there would be no letters or packages or even cables for us, so it was natural that on this hot, dry, dusty, Christmas Day some of us should wander over to the Australians' radio shack, just to see what little word from home we could pick up on the air. "I should say that part of us were gone on a mission into the Philippines; two Forts, including George Schaetzel, and they now should be on that dreary, drag back to Batchelor Field. We hoped none of them would be shot down on Christmas Day. "The Australians were damned nice to us. They let us watch them open their packages and handed us their Christmas cards to read, and then they'd say, 'What part of the States are you from, Yank?' so we could tell them about our own families and wives or best girls if we wanted to and most of us did. But we kept wondering about that mission, although we didn't talk about it. And of course we didn't know they had run into serious trouble, hit by Zeros at high altitude, and that Schaetzel's plane during this Christmas Day fight had been given fire right a burst of machine-guthrough his radio compartment. Sergeant Killian, his radio operator, was shot through the top of the head as he was helping the gunners reloadpicking up new ammunition belts and cans full of handing them up, and taking back the empty cans, while the gunners pounded away at the Zeros. "Two others had been badly wounded by the same burst, and since this was at high altitude, it was very serious. Because maybe the boy topples over so that his oxygen mask fall off. There isn't nine-ho- u; porches to deliver Christmas packages, and maybe hear the real American voices of some real American girls in a Christmas cheir 'Holy Night' or 'O Little Town of Bethlehem' or some of the other songs. "What we got instead was a lot of politicians doing their stuff on war aims. They were from all over the world, sounding off all over the dial, and we argued with those Australian kids as to which ones were the corniest, theirs or ours. They insisted theirs were, but we couldn't agree, because ours were all stuffed full of roast goose, optimism, plum pudding, hard sauce, and production figures. "But something was coming in over the CW radio (Continuous V ate, and the Australian with or the earphones on, after writing it down, instead of sending it in to his commanding officer gave me a queer embarrassed look and handed it to me. And my heart thumped, because I thought it just might possibly be from Margo, although I didn't see how it could be. "It was from Schaetzel. He'd waited until he flew out of the danger zone before breaking radio silence. He said he'd be in after dark with one body aboard and to have at the ambulance on the stand-bthe field. That meant there were more wounded. It finished Christmas for us. We didn't say much, sing-ir-- g old-tim- e ) y fc&E1 Prune or VV.N.U.TEATURU .whits; THE STflRV THI S FAR: Lieut. Col. Crank Kuru.
