They miss out in the glory that acâ€" crues to their brothers overseas. There are few communiques about their work. But you‘ll find morale and spirits as high as anywhere in the world. These chaps know that they‘re doing a manâ€" sized job and doing it well.

They live in remote outposts along our coasts do their jobs quietly and effectively and succeed in helping toa maintain the lifelines from the New World to the Old. You don‘t have to budge off this conâ€" tinent to find a part of it that is at war, grimly, earnestly and on a roundâ€" theâ€"clock basis. (By Flight Lieutenant T. C.

A bomber crew is not a collecâ€" tion of individuals but rather a wellâ€" coâ€"ordinated team. It is in many resâ€" pects like a football team. The pilots are the lads who carry the ball. They get most of the gallery‘s applause and share in all the spectacular plays, but they are the first to admit that without the best, efforts of the other members of the crew, their own work would be 'useless. There is "Tailâ€"end Charlie," the wireless operatorâ€"air gunner or plain air gunner. He does the blocking for the team, fights off the opposition, , outguesses his opponents and is generâ€" ally indispensable. And there is the air navigator who calls the signals, acts !as boss a good part of the time and ~steps modestly aside when the kudos is ]being handed around. Assuming that the patrol area is reached without difficulty and that the "sweep‘"‘ is carried out, the next task of the navigator is to get the aircraft back to its base safely. A good portion of the plane‘s fuel supply has already been used and the chances are that the tanks do not provide for a sightseeing junket to Greenland or Cape Cod. What the navigator has to do is to set a course which will bring the bomber right spang over its home aerodrome Provably night has fallen in the meanâ€" time and there is a fine drizzle of rain. It is still up to the navigator to find where he is and how to get from there to where he wants to be, quickly and accurately. Between its present posiâ€" tion and the base the plane may run through fog or heavy clouds which, unâ€" der winter conditions, will load inches of ice on its wings in a matter of minâ€" utes. And a heavily loaded plane will require more fuel. Or, arriving back over the aerodrome the pilot may find that the weather has closed inâ€"as it frequently does on coast basesâ€"and it is impossible to come down,. So the navigator had to help select an alterâ€" In a bomberâ€"reconnaissance squadâ€" ron which works hundreds of miles at sea and far from its base, the navigaâ€" tor is probably the number one man, if any man in the outfit can be considâ€" ered more important than the rest. Here is why: $ In the first place, the aircraft must reach its objective which in this case might be a hundredâ€"squareâ€"mile area of ocean over which a "sweep‘"‘ is to be carried out. This particular region may be three hundred miles off the coast. It is the navxgators job to see that the plane gets there by providing the pilot with a course which will take into account the constantly changing speed and direction of wind as well as atmospheric conditions which might build up icing on the wings. native field, perhaps 600 miles away, and provided a course which will get the craft there before its gas tanks run dry. Little wonder then, that the navigaâ€" tor rates very highly in the Air Force‘s book. In a pinch he must be able to man the guns, and on occasion to help with the plane‘s controls. Por all this he has the unstinted praise of his felâ€" low crewâ€"members and the satisfaction of knowing that the pilot must rely upon his store of specialized knowledge. They find them, too. Security does not permit revelation of details of attacks and the results achieved, but when the record of this war is written, some pages will be devoted to the exâ€" ploits of this group. huge, twinâ€"motored craftâ€"range far out over the North Atlantic every day and night.

When last seen he was collecting Bren and Tomâ€" my guns and preparing a defensive poâ€" sition which successfully covered the withdrawal from the beach." For sheer bravery, total desregard for the venomous fire from the enemy‘s pillâ€"boxes, and the ability to attack the Nazis with the cold steel of their bayâ€" onets, the Canadian raid on the forâ€" mer French resort will ever stand out as an ideal sample of the fighting abilâ€" ity of Canadians. The citations which accompanied the awards produced as many thrills to their readers as those of the Great War. In fact the citaâ€" tions in themselves were probably the best literature to come from any of the battle fronts in this conflict. Certainly Hollywood could not conjure up more exciting scripts.
