Banks Shot At A Number Of Jap
Planes But Failed To Get Credit
For Downing Any Enemy Aircraft
Local Boy Took Part In Four
Major Campaigns In
Pacific Area
Wearing ribbons denoting ser
vice in the American theatre of
war, South Pacific and Asiatic the
atres, Charlie Banks, AMM 2-c,
who has spent ten months on over
seas service, is spending an extend
ed furlough in this section.
The aerial gunner participated
in four major campaigns. He has
stars on his combat aircrew wings
representing participation in the
campaigns on the Solomon Islands,
Ellis Islands, Gilbert Islands and
Marshall Islands.
"I shot at a few Jap planes,
but never was lucky enough to get
any to my credit,” Banks said. Ex
plaining the type missions he went
on, the former manager of Char
lie’s Place across from Ecusta, told
how his crew flew low—just above
the tree tops—over the objectives
to be sure of direct hits.
Relating his experiences in fly
ing through the midst of anti-air
craft fire, the returned gunner
added thoughtfully, “I guess I’m
plenty lucky to be back here.”
Flew Without Escorts
In a reminiscent manner Banks,
who spent three years here prior
to entering the service, told that
one of his most thrilling, though
dangerous, experiences was the
bombing of the Marshall Islands.
The planes in his formation flew
at low altitudes without fighter
escorts.
“Our plane was a Vega Ven
tura,” the gunner said and explain
ed that it was a new type plane
which in reality is “an advanced
model of the Lockheed Hudson.”
Tilting his white sailor cap a
little further back on his wavy
black hair, the naval gunner who
as a member of a land base air
craft crew was on Tarawa and has
seen many exciting things in the
last year, stated without much
hesitation that the most exciting
thing which has happened to him
since being in the service was see
ing the Golden Gate bridge as his
ship came into San Francisco.
Met Asheville Boy
“I didn’t see anybody I knew all
the time I was on foreign duty,”
Banks answered. But he paused a
moment to think where it was he
met a fellow Tar Heel and added
“I did meet a boy from Asheville,
though, whom I’d never known be
fore. We were both at the Ellis
Islands then.”
With a contented smile, he ex
plained that when his leave is up
he will report to Florida where he
is to become an instructor at the
naval station at Jacksonville.
Having been in the navy almost
three years, Banks was stationed
at Norfolk, Va., Memphis, Tenn.,
Purcell, Okla., Treasure Island,
Calif., and Alameda, Calif., before
going into actual combat service.
On leave until the twenty-seven
th of this month, at which time he
is to report to Jacksonville, Bank%
is spending his leave with his
brother at Horse Shoe.
