Comparatively littie has been| I neard of the Red airforce during the| |long smash across hundreds of miles of defended territory to the gates of Berlin, Soviet fliers never engaged!| in strategic bombing—the long range | effort to smash the enemy ‘behind |the lines.

The biggest raid of the war on Berlin occurred February 3. while the Russians were pressing close to the German cap- {ital. | The closest cooperation apparent-' ly was between the 15th Air Force and the Russians in the Balkans. Some shuttle raids were run by the | American fighters, which struck at Nazi bases and continued on behind the Russian lines, then refueled and (rearmed and struck again on the | way home the next day. Such efforts | were requested by the Russians, whose planes lacked the range to! reach the objectives. American officials say that Rus- sian officers have been grateful for ‘the help which destruction of en- emy bridges, railroad yards, hlgh— ways and shipping facilities gave them. One of the incidents which pleased the Red officers most oc- curred on the home stretch of a shuttle raid when ‘some P-51 Mus- imngs encountered 30 Stukas and 18hot down 27. —————— PRISONER'S SONG ABOARD AN AIRCRAFT CAR- RIER IN THE PACIFIC — A Jap- anese prisoner, fished out of the water after his bomber was shot down, ingratiated himself with the Marines on this'carrier by learning the Marine Hymn and whistling it every time he saw a leatherneck. ‘The prisoner could also sing “God Bless America” with enthusiasm.
