Voice of Experience
Lieut. H. B. Rosenson thought he knew all about the British when he landed in England last July--how they would fight to the last American, etc., etc. Six months later he was ready to admit that the British had a few good points: after bailing out of a flaming Fortress over Tripoli, he remembered enough of an R.A.F. pamphlet on how to find food and water in the desert to get back to his outfit. For the next four months, Navigator Rosenson had a birdman's-eye-view of the British at work in Tunisia. Back in London last week, he was singing new words and a new tune:
"Any American who fought with them in North Africa has changed his opinion of the British. By their experience and assistance they saved a devil of a lot of Americans. . . . The truth is, the British will fight to save the last American."
