RUSH OF RECRUITS
AFRICAN AIR FORCE GERMAN WAR PILOTS (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Dec. 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, has inspired many to offer their services—not all of British birth. Three men with distinguished 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. It will be nothing to the way I will fight against her after the way those Nazis treated me.”
