JOHN P. QUINLAN (Tail Gunner). Copyright. 1943. by True Magazine: Distributed by CTP9.

Tbere isnt much room for a fellow to more around in my spot. I stay down on my knees with a little tilted seat down under me. What space I don't fill is taken up by the two ammunition cans. I sweat it oat in flak areas. I begin to worry a little bit about my past misdeeds.

The minute we left the Bremen flak area the fighters pounced on us and then there wasnt any time left for me to think about anything else. A Focke-Wulf got on my tail. -Fighters at 7 o'clock," I said. and swung Fete and Repeat (the rear guns) toward them. I squeezed on the trigger and the guns Jumped like a pair of scalded cats.

Jimmy Vermis and Bob Morgan, co-pilot and pilot, were zigzagging the ship for all she was worth up and down and from side to side. The other Forts in the formation were doing the same, and we looked for all the -world like a bunch of air queens with St. Vitus' dance. Sees Nazi Jump. Sitting away out there alone In the tall end of the ship, I swayed like a flagpole sitter in a high wind A lot of the other Forts sent streams of lead at the enemy planes.

One of them appeared to falter and then plummeted toward the earth. The Nazi pilot jumped clear of his plane. I saw his parachute open and he floated out of range of my vision. "Fighter down at 7 o'clock," I announced. (Flying Fortress men use the face of the clock to indicate direction.

The nose of the ship is 12 o'clock and the tail is 6 o'clock.) I had done a lot of worrying up to this point. I had worried about my oxygen, about the electric heater, about keeping my toes and fingers from freezing, about whether my gun would jam, and about what a roaring shame it would be if I got my backside shot off on my 22nd raid, with only three more to go before I got a long furlough. But all I worried about now was the swarm of fighters coming in on me. Three voices sounded on the in tercom almost simultaneously. "Fighter at 4 o'clock, fighter at 9, fighter at 3.

I saw five Focke-Wulfs come down on Capt. Oscar O'Neil's Royal Flush. Two engines were hit and the plane fell out of formation, smoking badly. With the fighters piling in on Its tail, it nosed over. I watched it go down and then reported.

"Fort ress down at 7 o'clock. Crew bail' ing out," Fort Fools Nazis. The air was full of flying lead. Tracer bullets cut many funny patterns in the sky. Another Fort in our group keeled over and went down with its No.

2 engine sending out a trail of smoke. A pair of ME-110 twin-engine Nazi fighters went down after the Fort, but pulled out at 10,000 feet, when they were which case the answer is no. Soldiers get only a percentage reduction in fares. Q. My son was discharged from the army with a stomach ailment which the army doctor says can be cured.

Will he be called back when well? A Mother. A. Both army recruiting and selective service officials here tell us the army does not grant medical discharges in any case where there is a possibility of cure in the latter event, the man would be kept until everything possible had been tried. That is why, when a medical discharge is granted, it Is absolutely final. Q.

I was In the navy and was given a medical discharge. Now I received a card to report to my local selective, service board for a blood test, i read in tne star- iimem wnrre a man discharged from the navy could not be recalled. Why are they calling me? Harry P. A. Local boards do not always have complete records, and in "beat ing the bushes" for draft material they may send out calls to men without knowing of their medical discharges.

If you have your papers in correct form, you may be assured you" will not get past the induction officials. (Also see answer above to "A Q. My husband, a naval officer, may return to the west coast from sea duty but expect to get leave to return to Missouri. Would I be able to obtain priority to go by plane to the coast? Under the circumstances it seems that the wife should have equal priority with the service men. Mrs.

B. A. B. A. There is no way a civilian can be given plane travel priority except in an emergency.

Even an officer, you know, cannot be sure of priority if his plane seat should be needed for important military business. Q. My son In the merchant marine tells me he has a free $5,000 insurance policy from the government. He has been going on trips for 9 or 10 months; should I have any papers or a policy? A. Insurance policies for merchant seamen are provided by the War Shipping Administration, Washington, D.

C. They keep the policies but you are supposed to receive a slip of notification. Write to the shipping administration at Washington. Q.

I also have a son by a former marriage, who will be supported by my new husband. What will be the allowance and how much is taken from my husband's pay? Can he make application here in JSt. Louis' or should he wait to get back to camp? R. A. A.

You will receive $50 for your self and $12 for the child, of which $22 Is deducted from your husband's pay and $40 paid by the government. He could go ahead and file the application immediately after your marriage if he wishes. Forms may be obtained from the Red Cross. Q. A married man with two chil dren has evaded the draft for 22 months, has refused to live at home and has not contributed regularly to support of the children.

The draft board has caught up with him now and he will be called any day, so now he wants a divorce so his wife can't get an allowance. Can he get the divorce without her consent? Mrs. II. C. A.

It would be difficult for him to get the divorce without her consent. Anyway, if she needs his support and if the wife's skirts are clean, the court would undoubtedly award her alimony and the children would be entitled to the dependency allowance while the husband is in service. Q. My son has been In service three months and says to address his mail to New York, N. does that mean he tias gone across? He Is in an MM.

company. What does that mean? Mother. A. You do not say whether he has an APO (army post office) address. That would mean he will go across sometime soon or perhaps already has.

Just "New York" might mean, however, that he is stationed there for the time being. "M.P." means military police and his duties are to help keep law and order in his group. Q. My parents are caring for my son while my husband is in the army, so I can work. My dad expects to claim the son as a dependent on his Income tax, so doea not want to accept the allowance provided for my son through the army.

What should be done in this case? Mrs. XV. A. A. The child Is your' husband's responsibility and the government has set up the dependency allowance system to provide for the boy while his father is in military serv ice.

Therefore your father, the child's grandfather, could not right fully claim exemption from income tax on this grounds. Q. Does a mother with four sons in the armed services ret a free pass to visit one of them? A. C. A.

They were neatly fooled. The Flying Fortress is a rugged old baby and the pilot who took down the damaged ship kept going until he was almost at treetop level. There he pulled out of the dive and hedge- hopped home on two motors. Two more wounded Forts in our group fell out of formation and dozens of fighters swooped down. on them.

I didn't see what hap pened to them, but neither of the ships came home, My work was really tough now. We ran the hardest part of the gantlet. All of the fighters had made a pass at us, had described their long arc and now were trying for a second pass. Three yellow- noses, from uoering's own squadron. came in at me at once.

I fixed the center man in my sights and I held him there while the three came closer. The end man let fly with a burst, but his tracers showed he was far to the left of the mark. I waited until they came close enough, and then I really burned the gun barrels down. The tracer showed me that my line of fire was a little too far to the right. Still firing, I moved my gun over.

The yellow-nose seemed to stop in mid air. He rolled over ana went aown with a long column of black smoke streaming after him. Staff Sergt, Tony Nastal, of, De troit. the waist gunner, yelled out: Fighter down at 9 oclocK." ms voice really sounded excited. He had just blown the daylights out of an ME-109, a single-engine rea nose.

Tony's only 19 years of age and the baby of our crew a kind of tough baby, the Nazis found out. Bis Guns Shot Oat. Hearing the chatter of the other members of the crew always maae me feel good. I knew there were nine other guys working with me and for me. It kept me from feel ing too lonely out here in the tail.

None of us worked as individuals, but as a perfectly co-ordinated team. The trailing yellownoses were fired on by accompanying forts and they veered away, but now they came back as if they weren't going to be satisfied with anything but me. As they came into the 1500- yard mark I let them have both guns. I saw the flame streak out of their wing tips as they shortened the distance between us. Suddenly there was an explosion and I blacked out for an Instant.

It was only an Instant, though. before I was fully conscious. I was hit. I didn't know where or how bad. You never know when you'xo hit real bad.

I didn't want to know. I grabbed my gun again, aimed at the Nazi fighters and squeezed on the trigger. Nothing happened My guns had been shot out of ac tion. I spoke into the intercom guns out of commission. For Christ's sake, chief, get out of here!" My leg felt a little numb, looked down.

There was a superfi cial wound in the thigh. I explored the rest of me, but that was all that was hit. A 20 mm. cannon shell had exploded against our tail and a piece of shrapnel from it had nicked me. The Nazi fighters didn't try to follow up their advantage and I fig ured they must have run out of ammunition.

They peeled off and headed for home. By this time we reached the North Sea and were heading, out over it.
