...Noomen of The Netherlands Air Force was called from his bed. Pulling his flying suit over his pajamas he leaped into his Fokker fighter and roared aloft, signaled the British ship to land. The British pilot plugged steadily along on his course toward home. Lieut. Noomen fired a warning burst of bullets. Straight ahead through the clouds plowed the Britisher. Duty obliged Lieut. Noomen to dive at the violator of Dutch neutrality, fire in earnest. Flames burst from the bomber, but still the British did not return any bullets. Instead the pilot made a forced landing and, with three crewmates...
...This burst of broad British humor contained a strong tincture of bravado. For though some day he may need shoes to make tracks, Herr Hitler now has wings to make trouble. The German Air Force has driven home this point by taking the lead in speeding up the tempo of war-in-the-air, and at least one Briton spoke plain truth about the opposing air forces last week.

...starry-eyed few thousand owners of the latest fangled radio sets in areas around New York City, Boston, Washington, Columbus (Ohio), Chicago and Milwaukee, nowadays enjoy radio entertainment that is static-free, interference-free, does not wobble, fade or burst at the seams.

Suit was brought against both the Iroquois League and the Illinoisans, for a fund accounting to members. Last week, when Lyn Smith got back from Florida, he was scheduled to make a deposition in that suit...
Early on the morning of the sixth day, Q. E. sighted Nantucket Light. At this point, with a premature burst of pride, the Admiralty announced in London that the Elizabeth had reached a safe berth "across the Atlantic." This was the first intimation to most of the world that Q. E. had even left John Brown's Shipyard. Far more amazing, a far more admirable feat than Q. E.'s actual run was the secrecy which had blacked it out. Too many people knew it was coming off-families of the crew, some 2,000 Brown Shipyarders...
