DRAMATIC RESCUE

OF AIRMAN IN DISTRESS, FINE WORK BY FIGHTER PILOT. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.45 a.m.) RUGBY, August 2. A dramatic rescue of a member of a bomber’s crew who baled out into the sea was accomplished by a fighter pilot’. Slowing his plane to a minimum, so that he could drop his rubber dinghy, within fifteen yards of the man in the water, the fighter pilot then led the disabled bomber, which was still in the air, with only the commander on board, to the nearest aerodrome. It then directed a motor-boat to the man in the dinghy.
