“PUDDLE JUMPER”
Unable to reach Naples by automobile because of a traffic jam. General Mark W. Clark, sth Army commander, hopped into a “puddle jumper” airplane and astonished Neapolitans by landing on a main street of the city. There was no suitable airfield nearby. Clark had called an important conference and had to get to Naples. He rode in one of the tiny planes, and his British liaison officer in another. After the conference both took off in their planes from the street and returned to headquarters.— Algiers correspondent of “P.M.,” New York.
