Fairwing 17 has ranged far and
wide through the vastness of the
Pacific. Itconservativelyestimates
it has accounted for some 600,000
tons of Japanese shipping.
One of the present squadrons, the
104th, has a sparkling record of it:
own. In seven months, this fighting
outfit has sunk 254 merchant ship,
of all classes, totalling 80,560 tons;
damaged another 262, totalling 114,-
800 tons. It has shot down 49 enemy
planes, probably got 14 more and
has damaged 34. And the squadron's
mighty proud of its Presidential Ci-
tation.
One of the greatest figures ever to.
fly with Fairwing 17 was Lt. Cmdr.
Whitney Wright, Hyde Park, Mass.
Before he went home, this remark-
able pilot had 5,015 hours of combat
flight in two tours of duty or enough
to account for 167 days of round-
the-clock combat flight since Pearl
Harbor.
Lre flew hard and he made most
of the rough missions. His plane
was shot up 20 times and once he
came back with 280 holes in it. Of
the 254 ships credited to his squad-
ror, Wright get 49. Ile holds the
Navy cross and the purple heart.
The Privateers sometimes help res-
cue their flying friends of the Army,
and vice versa.
One of the Navy planes, piloted by
Lt. Willian Lyle of Los Angeles, Cal-
if., figured in a recent rescue.
An Army Liberator from the re-
no ned Jolly Rogers Bomb Group
ran cut of gas returning from Can-
ton, China. The crew bailed out at
I0,000 feet aad hit the water 200
miles off the coast of the Philip-
pines. They were fished out of the
China sea 25 hours later and
whisked back to the Philippines.
Just like that.
Lyle first saw the Liberator crew's
dye marker; then spotted their rafts.
By radio he contacted the nearest
Catalina flying boat of the Army's
6th Emergency Rescue Squadron and
stood by till he was sure the "Cat"
saw the liferafts.
Waves were running fifteen feet
high, but 1st Lt. Paul Allemandi of
New Orleans, La., did a beautiful
job landing the Catalina and in no
time at all had all five boys in the
plane.
Then Allemandi wrestled with the
cumbersome flying boat until it fin-
ally grabbed the. air and hung on.
The hull was sprung by the pounding
of the waves but it was air borne
again.

strategy was planned twenty years
ago. "A war with Japan, then the only
potential enemy, was seen as a mighty
job of island sweeping which would
move the bases westward until the
fleet could blockade Japan and the
troops invade her homeland. On this
basic pattern the war was planned
and is being fought today."
Prof. Davis maintains that the way
in which we arrange our possessions
and forces in the Pacific will measure
the effectiveness of our ability to keep
peace. When the Japanese left the
League of Nations they forfeited their
mandate over their islands in the
Pacific, he said, and therefore we
must assume control over them for
our own interests and the interests
of the world.
Quotes Truman
Prof. Davis quoted a statement
made by Pres. Truman at Potsdam
two weeks ago. "We are not fight-
ing for conquest. There is not one
piece of territory or one thing of
monetary nature that we want out of
the war." Prof. Davis said the fact
is obvious, however, that we will not
let Japan keep her mandated islands,
there is no reason why Britain should,
and Russia is not yet a naval power,
therefore they will fall under the
control of the United States.
Government of Islands
He described the islands that prob-
ably will be governed by naval ad-,
ministration. They lie in the Mic-
ronesia group, the term applied by
geographers to the islands north of
the group near Australia.
Prof. Davis ended his lecture with
the statement: "I believe that our
most important interest in the South-
west Pacific in the post war world
will be the acceptance of the islands
now under Japanese mandate. Our
problems in this matter fall under
two heads, how can we use them stra-
tegically to prevent another Pacific
war, and how can we manage them
culturally and commercially to justify
our strategic use."
