EX=GERMAN PILOTS
4 JOIN SOUTH AFRICAN AIR FORCE. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, December 28. Recruits for the South African Air Force continue to come forward in large numbers. The fine achievement, of the South African Air Force in intercepting a few weeks ago the German liner Watussi, inspired many to offer their services—not all of British birth. Three men with distinguished German war records have joined the* active citizen force units, including one of the most famous'pilots Germany produced in the last war. Another on joining said: “I fought hard for Germany in the last war. Il will be nothing to the way I will fight against her after the way those Nazis treated me.”
