Aid to Britain

From London last week came an account of an incident of which the U. S. Government had no official knowledge and perhaps never will have:

An American air observer (identity withheld) in Britain recently visited a station of the Fighter Command on a quiet day and was invited to take a turn over the field in a Spitfire. With R. A. F. escort, the American went aloft, was churning peacefully over the countryside when a group of uninvited Messerschmitts dropped in for a dog fight. The R. A. F. flew off to fight. In the interests of neutrality, the lone American streaked for the field, was gleefully pursued by a pot-hunting Nazi. When the bullets began to zip past him, the American abandoned neutrality, flipped over his plane, got the Nazi in his sight, pressed the Spitfire's gun button, bagging one Messerschmitt fighter for the armed forces of the U. S.
