TAKING NO RISK
AMERICAN PLANES ARMED DAILY FLIGHTS RESUMED LONDON, Aug. 26. Flying Fortresses with guns loaded resumed the American Vienna to Udine air run, carrying mails and freight, says the Associated Press Rome correspondent. The pilot said he flew along the “ prescribed corridor, avoiding Jugoslav territory.” The Flying Fortresses are reported to be making the run daily henceforth. No passengers are being carried. The bodies of the four flyers shot down on August 19 were.brought from the hill village where they had been buried to Ljubljana under a guard of honour from the Jugoslav Fourth Army. The American military attache said he had been instructed to ship the remains to America for reburial. In Caserta to-day General Sir William Morgan said the Belgrade radio’s statement that Allied aircraft continued to fly over Jugoslavia* since the American transport planes were shot down was “ irresponsible and malicious.” He added that the most stringent precautions were taken by the British and American authorities to ensure that the planes did not do so.
