British Tribute Paid War Correspondents And Phofographers Dangerous Job in Libyan Campaign Was Well Done, London Says By the Associated Press. LONDON, Jan. correspondents and photographers who suffered the dangers and priva- tions of the desert alongside Brit- — Newspaper | ain’s fighting forces in order to tell | the story of the second battle of Libya won the praise of the War Office yesterday for a dangerous job well done. “It will be realized,” said the tribute, “that both correspondents and photographers have to be as fit as combatant troops and it is clear that on this, the first time it was | possible to give them a real chance, they and everybody connected with them did their jobs well.” Three Associated Press corre- spondents, at various times, were in the thick of the fighting. Anderson Still Held. One of them, English-born God- frey H. P. Anderson, was captured late in November by the Italians and still is their prisoner. Edward P. Kennedy, a native of Brooklyn and former member of the stafl of The Washington Evening Star, was with the British forces which made the Axis garrison at Bardia hoist the white flag Friday. A veteran of the first Libyan cam¢ paign, he moved forward with the British advance forces and was able to compare this offensive with that of Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell a vear ago. Mr. Kennedy flew with Sir Archibald to Crete soon after British forces entered the Greek- Italian war. Preston Grover, a native of Farm- ington, Utah. was rushed from Istan- bul to Cairo and. thence to the front to replace Mr. Anderson and it was he who not only accompanied the British at the occupation of Barce but actually slipped ahead and greeted them at the gates. Tactics Carefully Prepared. Journalistic tactics were as care- fully prepared by the British as their own military plans. As a re- suit. newspapermen were not in the thick of much of the fighting. One truck bearing correspondents and photographers, in fact, was blown up by a land mine. At the very start, small groups were taken out from Cairo so that Axis spies would not be tipped off by their departure that the cam- paign was imminent. When the fighting got under way. their films and dispatches were given priority on R. A. F. planes between the front and Cairo. D. C.

Flyers Fighting for China Get $600 Monthly, $500 Bonus for Every Jap Plane By LELAND STOWE, Foreign Correspondent of The Star and Chicago Daily News RANGOON, Jan. 6.—Flying and fighting alongside their comrades of the Royal Air Force here, pilots of the American Volunteer Group in the Chinese Air Force played a very considerable, perhaps histori- cally important, role on Christmas Day in dealing the Japanese air force its first great defeat, knocking out at least one out of every four Nipponese planes. Since this is an established fact and since they are still holding the first joint Anglo-American aerial front formed in the Second World War. the folks at home may wonder just how the flying Yanks happened to be here and in China at the moment the Japanese blitz was launched. Until now the complete story has not been told. yet if those Yanks had not been on the spot, the damage inflicted by the Japanese in this vital Far Eastern sector certainly would have been much more serious. By what seems well nigh providential. Burma was the one place where British and Ameri- can aviation together first met Jap- anese aerial attacks. And, oddly enough, the American pilots who shared this accomplishment were virtually smuggled across the Pacific and into the Chinese Air Force | months ago. The Yankee flvers are known here | " abbreviation for | as the “A. V. G.* the American Volunteer Group in the Chinese air force. volunteer, however. is a misnomer in a sense since they came to the Far East as mercenary pilots as- sured of incomes of approximately $600 a month and promised a bonus of $500 for every Japanese plane they shot down. Arrangement Still Holds. This arrangement still holds de- spite the United States’ involvement in the war simply because they are under contract to the Chinese gov- ernment. It is a curious situation. but nonetheless fortunate that these squadrons, equipped with good planes and first-class American ground crews, are here and in China. | These members of the A. V. G. had resigned their commissions as pilots or enlistments as mechanics and other ground personnel in the United States Army. Navy and Ma- rine Corps late last spring when offered privately an opportunity to earn big money by joining the Chi- nese air force. That appeared to be the only way to get experienced mechanics and combat pilots who would require | absolute minimum treining when they reached the Far East, espe- cially since so many Americans were still blindly confident that the United States would not be involved in an actual fighting war for a long time. Likewise the Chinese urgently needed expert pilots and no time could be lost in protracted u'axmng} of ordinary volunteers. Ti&e original idea of the A. V. G. was hatched by two Americans, who had long co-operated in supplying the Chinese with fighting planes. They were William Pawley of Miami, Fla.. president of the Central Air- craft Manufacturing Co. and its Chinese subsidiary, the Interconti- nent Corp., and his associate, Comdr. B. G. Leighton. Intercontinent al- ready had an airplane plant in China, so Mr. Pawley, in answer to Chinese requests, worked out a plan to obtain experienced American pilots from our defense forces and bring them to China. Plan Was Common Sense. This probably could never have been worked out had not the Amer- ican Government committed itself to the greatest possible aid to China | and prepared to appropriate hun- ]dreds of millions of dollars worth of | lease-lend materials for that pur- | pose. But with Washington pledged to bolster Chinese resistance to pre- | vent her subjugation by Japan. it was common sense to build up the Chinese air force which greatly needed reinforcements. Accordingly, Mr. Pawley’s Central Aircraft Manufacturing Co. assumed private responsibility for recruiting aviators and transporting them to China, expanding air fields and pro- viding such equipment as lease-lend could not furnish—in any case, being responsible for all the material needs of the A. V. G. plus handling its pay {nel | That took care of the adminis- trative side of the A. V. G. and for its professional military direction Col. C. L. Chennault, retired, United States Army Air Force officer, was | already available, since he had air force for the last four years. | promoted to brigadier general of ‘ fied by experience as the command- ing officer of American so-called | volunteers. He had studied Japan's | aviation methods for years, knew {all its aircraft, was familiar with its tactics and equally familiar with Chinese requirements and mentality. Called “Old Fox.” Officers who have long served with Col. Chennault call him the “Old Fox” because Chinese pilots The word | | following his directions often have punished the Japanese surprisingly against heavy odds. When the Americans arrived in this part of the world last Septem- ber Col. Chennault’s first difficuit job was to organize squadrons in which the . pilots had an entirely different flying training than either in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps ‘and to accustom them to flying one type of airplane which many had never flown before. He had also the essentfal task of building up | morale and creating team spirit. The degree to which these things have been accomplished has been demonstrated by the Americans who set a fine record with their British comrades by trouncing huge Jap- anese squadrons in the vicinity of Rangoon Christmas week. The setup of the A. V. G. is in- | evitably complicated because it is | integrated in the Chinese air force. but as such it is also now allied to the British R. A. F. forces in Burma. As a result some squad- rons are serving in Burma and others in China—wherever they may be most needed to throw back the Japanese. The administrative setup is equally complicated. because when the A. V. G. was quietly organized it had to skirt the thin edges of the Amer- ican Neutrality Act, and Wash- ington had no official connection with it. How long these flyers may continue to serve as a unit of the Chinese air force 1s not yet clear, but it may be taken for granted —although A. V. G. members are now grossly overpaid, compared with any other airmen involved in | the war against the Axis—that the | Chinese government will do its ut- most to hold onto them as long as possible. Fight Like Others. | Perhaps the most remarkable fact about the A. V. G. flvers is that| they fight like ordinary United States Army or Navy volunteers or selectees, even though they have the status of mercenaries. That fact has been established above Ran- | goon and should be a source of sat- isfaction to every American. | Members of the*A. V. G. traveled as “tourists” en route to the Far East. When they reached Singa- pore one registered as a retired acro- bat, another an artist. Noticing the bold signature “MacGarrow— artist.” a British correspondent ac- | costed one of your Yankees and asked for MacGarrow, saving he wanted him to do some sketches of Singapore. The very surprised and sald, “sorry,| brother. afraid he can’t do it.” “Why pondent. “tour plied, a line.” These A. V. G. boys are surely the most unusual mixture yet fight- ing in the Far East. if not anywhere in the war. Perhaps they are the only mercenaries fighting except the Gurka troops from India. But ‘The smuggled American | leaned forward and re- onfidentially, he can't draw whatever they are paid, they fight— and how!
