A Page 10 With Men In Service James Leatherwood Has Narrow Escape When Three Planes Tangle In Mid-Air Editor's Not James Leather wood, now stationed at a Texas aviation school, recently had a narrow escape in a plane crash. Because of so many rumors, this cadet pilot is furnishing us with first hand information in the fol lowing letter: "In the past few days I've re ceived a great number of inquiries concerning my most recent narrow escape. The general concensus of opinion there seems to be thatT was seriously injured in the crash. T wmiM annreciate it if YOU Would enter the following account of it in your paper for the Denens 01 ho folks who have tried to find out. Ill never get time to answer all the letters and still carry on mv work here on August 15th while engaged in formation acrobatics, i was wpH in the -.oath of two planes who were a part of that formation and to facilitate recovery all planes slipped out and the three of us Wkfid wines and fell some 50-75 feet to the earth hitting on top of a fourth plane. The impact was so great that the planes were all but demolished and I was thrown, all. through the bottom of my plane and clear of the wreck-1 age some 30 feet receiving omy , second degree cuts on the head and j nrms a contussion on my left i forpnrm and a Dainful. but not permanent back injury. The other j two pilots escaped injury, aue io the fact that their fall was cush ioned by the wings of my plane. I have been in the hospital for THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER In U; S. Marines about 12 days but am now able to walk about a bit and soon shall be able to return to duty. The reports ranged from a broken neck or back all the way to death so if you will in some manner or other set this aright I will appreciate it very mucn. Too I should like to thank you for your recent article. All that I did was as I saw duty, ana wnere T mnv mte notice there's Quite a number of guys who fall unnoticed among the ranks of top night sol diers. A eood example of what I mean is the spirit of our men here. We know you on the out side are sacrificing for us. War bonds, sugar, tires, gasoline, trous er cuffs, luxuries even that elec tric razor so a group of us decid ed to better the 10 per cent club a little and get a new one "A Bond-A-Pilot-A-Month" and it has just perfected itself 100 per cent with all the men at this station. Somehow it does a persons's heart good just to stop and reconsider. We may not all be Colin Kelley's, or MacArthurs, but every little bit we do helps out so much. Our boys are homesick tired blue and all the rest that goes with it. They'd like to loaf and fish like they formerly did, but the desire to preserve the American Way of Life is so strong within tne nearis nf all that well never trive up or never doubt that ''come what may we'll keep 'em flying, fight ing, and sailing, for Uncle Sam has never been licked yet" with that spirit and body each man joins with you who are not privil- ; ( SAM PLOTT.
