James ‘Richard Follett, chief test pilot of De Havilland Aircraft, says that piloting a plane of the treâ€" mendous speed and manoeuvreaâ€" bility of the Mosquito is not very much diferent from the experience you will have after the war in piloting your own private plane. If Follett makes a test flight, say from Toronto to Stratford, 75 air miles distant, he can be back at his desk in the test flight shed within 25 minutes of the time he left his office.

The first time in nearly five years that he had seen the;’n.k It was a memorable night. The regimental sergeant major, aged 46, tall and erect, went over in December, 1939. He has had five Christmases overseas; on only two of them was ‘me able to sit down to a Christmas dinner. The otherâ€" times ‘*e was either in comâ€" bat or training for combat. He was with the Canadians that waited at Dover during the time of Dunkirk. Finally they entered France at Bhest, and he was on the famous train which the Canadians comâ€" mandeered and which they themâ€" selves drove to St. Malo.
