Many Are Dying They may as well prepare to make posthumous awards. As might be expected, the losses are heavy Heavier than the censor would care to let me say. Everybody who knows anything about it now knows that the Cata- iinas have tough going against the anti-aircraft fire of the Jap and their fighting planes. The Catalina, the Navy's PBY, is a huge magnificently durable, far ranging airplane, ideal for long | patrols and rough landings in these uneasy waters. But you can't have everything. Ll They are big and slow. Too big | and slow. They are planes which | make nice targets for the opposi- | tion. Catalinas began to catch it on their first flight Got One Early When Jap bombers dropped over Dutch Harbor, one Catalina was | taking off when the bombers came fin but it never got free of the | water. A marauding Zero cut him | up and with machine gun fire killed [ two men, wounded a third and set | the plane afire as it ran aground. During the first day, another Catalina was forced down at sea and abandoned 15 miles from shore. The next day another was shot down in flames off Unalaska, her crew dead at their stations. Still another went |the mists and didn't come home. | Two days later, a patrol boat found pieces of wreckage and the pilot's floating body off Scotch Cap of | Unimak Island. He got away as a | machine gun burst but not much was left of him Use Rubber Rafts In the first 48 hours of the in- vasion, the Catalina landed only when it was too tattered to fly any | longer or ran out of fuel. Many flew out and never came {back. One was disabled at sea and when the créw landed and launched a rubber cr gunned the American fliers in the water, On the third day moved westward, the Catalinas {drummed through the murky sky | hour after hour, seeking to reestab- | lish contact with the Jap carriers, | as the battle in the face of a cold | front below Seguam Island. That day they began to carry tor- | pedoes aboard planes not even de- | signed for the relatively easy job of toting bombs. One Cat was dis- labled trying to bomb a carrier from 1700 feet. As might have been ex- | snowstorm | | pected, |carried away most of one engine | installation . } Stick to Enemy | Another ran into a formation of | Zeros near Egg Island and went | down in flames. | It had sleuthed back and forth | through patches and fingers of fog {until he found one carrier, and | thereafter he stuck to the enemy |like a process server despite the | pestering Zeros, staying until the ‘nck ack shot away a rudder. Later | he crashed into the sea. | Snow and rain compounded the ,’Xeloniuus fogs drifting in these cold | waters and the crews landed to |stoke up with coffee and sand- iwiches. load their tottering, battle | worn crates with fresh bombs and | gas, and take off again in the murk. | One Cat maintained contact with | the Jap main body for 16 hours be- fore the Zeros drove him off. On the fourth day, the Task Force Commander voiced his admiration for the well nigh incredible durabil- | ity of the fliers. - e EYLES EXAMINED and BROKEN LENSES replaced in {our own shop.
