The guards even have a secret code-by voice or glance-to cover the possibility that an airman might enter in the company of a saboteur who has an unseen gun in the man's ribs. Any suspicious occurrence-the sudden toss of a stone, a drunken soldier-is flashed to Eighth Air Force headquarters immediately as a "seven high" report...
