in a .50-caliber machine gun. Attack a
Jap cruiser. Lieut. Kurtz senses he is
being watched.
CHAPTER XVII
“We dreamed and prayed for this
And as a matter of fact the Navy
did make an attempt. An aircraft
tender was loaded with P-40’s and
started out from Australia. But what
happened was just what was feared.
Those P-40’s were in crates stacked
high on her decks, so she had to
come clear in—through skies the Jap
bombers ruled. She went down with
her entire crew and those crated
P-40’s forty miles off the southwest
coast of Java—but I’m sure the Navy
was doing the best it could for us
with what they had.
“Of course it gave our morale a
kick in the belly. Late the next
afternoon young Jack Dale (he’d
won his spurs in the Philippines
with the 17th Pursuit) came in from
Gnoro on a personal mission from
Major Bud Sprague. When he’d fin
ished it he stayed a few minutes.
“When he first came into Java
he’d been a real sparkplug quarter
back for the rest of the boys. When
the alarm would sound, he’d jump to
his feet, slap them on the back, and
yell, ‘Let’s go, gang!’ But now he
looked tired. He’d been living, sleep
ing, eating under the wing of his
plane for weeks—when he wasn’t up
stairs fighting. Yet now, he said,
they could hardly stay in the air
because they were operating about
ten P-40’s against as many as fifty
or seventy-five Jap fighters, swarm
ing up from carriers off in the Java
Sea. ‘Frank,’ he said, wearily,
‘when we first got here, I’d run for
my cockpit thinking, “How many
am I going to get this morning?’’
But now when I take off I catch my
self wondering, “Will it be my turn
today?’’
“The next night a Navy man who
had just got in from our little fleet
told me what had happened to the
Marblehead and the Houston, those
(two beautiful cruisers which had
been the nucleus of our Asiatic Fleet
—helping the Dutch and Australians
defend Java. With the rest of the
fleet they’d been out in the Java
Sea. When they sighted a Jap recco
.plane overhead about, noon, .they
knew they were in for trouble. They
had no carrier, of course, which
could send a fighter up to shoot it
down. He said the Jap bombers pres
ently came over them from their
bases in Borneo and the Celebes
(our bases they had captured) in
three waves, spaced about half an
hour apart. By skillful maneuver
ing they dodged the bombs of the
first two waves. But the third,
which crippled them, caught them
just at sundown, and chewed their
superstructures into steel spaghetti.
“In the darkness, they were able
to crawl away out of range, and the
Marblehead eventually got back to
the States. My friend, who was an
old-line blue-water surface sailor,
praised the clever maneuvering
which enabled her to survive at all,
and I didn’t say anything, because
I know what those poor guys had
gone through. Only in that position,
with the Japs absolutely in control
of the air, they stood a ninety per
cent chance of getting found and
hit. No doubt their maneuvering
was good. God knows I had sym
pathy for them. When"! think of be
ing down there on the surface, help
lessly dodging and twisting to writhe
away from bombs, it gives me night
mares.
“But troubles of our own were
looming ahead. The boys in Navy
Patrol Wing 10 came in with the
report that their planes on recon
naissance had sighted a force of
six Jap transports and five warships
headed toward Bali Strait, which di
vides Java from Bali. They were
after the Den Passar airdrome on
Bali—our last stepping-stone—hav
ing already occupied the airfield at
Timor. This was, as maybe you now
begin to see, a war of airdromes—
Clark, Del Monte, Kendari, Sama
rinda, Kupang, all of them lost
pearls in the United Nations* de
fenses, and now Den Passar. Next it
could only be Malang, KNILM, Gno
ro, and Madiun—all we had left on
the strand. Seldom in this war did
the Japs make a brutal assault al-,
ways it was the skillful surgeon’s
technique—isolate and occupy the
airdromes and then you have the
country. It was a game we knew
well too, but you’ve got to buy chips
before they will deal you a hand,
and we didn’t have the equipment.
“All I can say is the Dutch and
Americans were ready to defend
Bali with what we had. Our little
surface navies moved in that night
to clip them a glancing blow on the
run, as they’d done at Macassar
Straight, and our submarines did a
grand jq.b in. the moonlight. The
Colonel sent his Fortresses out and
down to 5,000, to paste them from
the air. We left two transports
burning in the moonlight, and a crip
pled cruiser. As a result the main
Jap force had to stand off instead
of seizing the airdrome that night
they were able to get only a small
beach head.
“Next morning it was up to the
Air Force alone, because the Navy
w*as too tiny to venture out by day.
The Forts went over, of course—in
fact everything we had, to smash
at those Jap- transports as they
poured thirty thousand troops onto
the beach at Bali. The P-40’s were
led by Bud Sprague himself. That
morning he got his commission as
a lieutenant colonel. He paused just
before the take-off to scraw’l his
signature on his papers, but he didn’t
take time to pretty himself up in
his new silver leaves I guess he
was satisfied to die in his old gold
ones. Because what they desperate
ly needed was dive bombers, and
about all they had was P-40’s—a
fighter plane which was never built
as a stable platform to launch an
egg from. But all right, there the
job was to do, and so Bud climbed
into the cockpit.
‘How many passes at the target
are we going to make?’ someone
asked.
‘Depends on how many wild
hairs I’m sprouting when we get
over her,’ says Bud with a grin,
and they were off.
“He led them cold pigeon into that
Jap barrage over the Bali beach—
Hell!—back here, the people don’t
know that boy ever did a thing out
there—and the other boys saw him
go down in on his run—and never
come up again. Yet his boys—what
are left of them—still like to hope
maybe he succeeded in landing on
that Bali beach, which looks so nice
in the travel folders, and will turn
up grinning some day, telling them
what a social success he was with
the natives.
“But it was pitiful. We lost al
most all our dive bombers there,
and about half our P-40 fighters. Of
course Bud and his gang made the
Japs pay ten to one for taking that
airfield—but the Japs had it to pay.
“With the Japs holding that Bali
field, they could send bombers and
fighters into every corner of Java,
and we knew it was almost over.
But anyway the Forts could now
bomb our ow*n field the Japs had tak
en from us—very convenient, be
cause we knew exactly where every
thing was-__ ____

tag. Due to a break on his milk
truck Friday morning Paul as an
emergency measure, used the car on
his milk delivery route. But as fate
w-ould have it the car developed a flat
tire on the Dixie highway south of
town and Paul went back to town for
a spare. During his absence, however
more fate in the uniform of a state

hauled in to a local garage where
Paul found it—and also a summons
