ANYTHING IN SIGHT
Russian Airmen’s Targets
It is becoming clearer that Russian .air raids in the last few days have aimed at anything in sight.
The remarkable heroism of one Finnish pilot is seen in the fact that every day he took up his ancient plane, circled twice round, and came down before setting off on reconnaissance. He said that every day his machine had been shot to pieces and every night mechanics had put it together again. Jle had to go up and see if it was working; if it worked, he went off to fight the Russians. Since he made that statement he has been killed and his patched-up machine destroyed.— By radio.
