U.S. PURSUIT PLANE
PRAISED BY AUSTRALIAN
Rec. 11.30 a.m. NEW YORK, Aug. 21
A Royal Australian Air Force pilot, Squadron-Leader Clive Caldwell, on his way home after 17 months in the Middle East, visited the Curtiss plane factory where the CurtissHawk P4O pursuit plane is produced. He told workmen what a fine job they were doing. He said that he flew a P4O against everything the Germans and Italians had, and the plane had brought down a good many more than we lost. He had flown a P4O in almost all fighting circumstances and it had never failed him.
