ROVING AIRMEN
MEDITERRANEAN MICAWBERS. LIKING FOR ENEMY TRAINS. (By Telegraph—-Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, December 3. A unique band of New Zealand, Australian, English and Canadian airmen is operating from the Mediterranean. It is known as the “independent air force,” because it is under no one’s orders, having a roving commission to stir up what trouble it can find, states a “Daily Telegraph” correspondent from a Mediterranean air base. He says that these young daredevils flash over the enemy areas in Italy in Mosquitoes. Their Irish commanding officers admitted that his aeronauts fly so low that .their chief danger is the mountains ternain. “We are flying Micawbers, patiently stooging round waiting for something to turn up. We like trains best,” the officer said.
