With the Armed ForcesFIVE SOONER pilots, who attended the Uni-versity about the same time, were reunitedby the war on the Australian front as mem-bers of the same American pursuit outfit,flying Kittyhawk pursuit planes in combatagainst the Japs .These Oklahoma pilots now in the "land

down under" include Capt . Clarke Selman,'38bus, Oklahoma City ; Lt. Andy J . Reyn-olds, '40, Seminole ; Lt. James Bruce More-head, '38, Washington, Oklahoma; Capt .Nathan H. Blanton, '36-'38, Shawnee, andCapt. Mitchell E . Sims, '39, Norman .

According to World War I standards,Morehead and Reynolds are aces, havingshot down five or more enemy planes . Othermembers of the pursuit group last monthwere forging ahead, each having severalenemy craft to his credit.

Captain Sims commands the squadronof which Lieutenant Morehead is a mem-ber . As a commanding officer he has toomany administrative ground duties to getmuch time in the air, but the squadronwhich he directs was last credited withshooting down 14 Jap planes . Captain Sel-man commands the squadron of whichLieutenant Reynolds is a member and he,like Captain Sims, has to concentrate onadministrative work .A veteran of both the Philippine and

Java air wars, Captain Blanton considershis most exciting adventure being shotdown and crash landing into the sea nearJava . In late September he was on leavein the United States, visiting relatives inShawnee .The five live in tent and grass houses, eat

water buffalo when they get a honing forbeef and two or three times a week drive offto an open air movie being shown in anearby camp . One of the pilots asked Cap-tain Selman if the show he'd attended thenight before was worth seeing .

"Hell, yes," he replied . "It's the thirdtime I've seen it, and it never was any good,but I'm going again tonight."

In honor of the pursuit group, Capt .Anthony G. Carroll, chaplain with theCoast Artillery in Australia, wrote a poemdescribing the heroic actions of the pilotsand beginning "Ye men who soar throughDarwin skies . . . ."

Folks back home were cheering lastmonth for Capt . John L . Smith, '36bus,six-foot Marine fighter pilot of Lexington,who shot down four Jap Zero fighters inless than 15 minutes during a fierce airbattle near Guadalcanal in the Solomon Is-lands area.

Captain Smith's amazing feat boosted hisscore to nine enemy craft downed in ninedays and qualified him for the designationof ace . The fighter pilot joined the MarineCorps four years ago, after completingflight training at Pensacola, Florida .

boat on the Atlantic for 32 days was relatedby Carl S . Dalbey, Jr ., '40, former radio-man on a merchant marine vessel whichwas torpedoed and sunk by an axis sub-marine . Part of the crew, 48 men, escapedin a life boat and twice landed on smalluninhabited islands where no food wasfound, Mr . Dalbey reported . Finally, theyreached an island where they were fed andcared for by people in a fishing settlementuntil their transfer to Nassau, chief city ofthe Bahamas . Mr . Dalbey was sent to a hos-pital in New York and eventually to hishome in Oklahoma City . As a result of thehectic ordeal, his weight dropped from 124pounds to 97 pounds . He returned to ser-vice last month .10- Ensign Frank Millard Long, Jr., '38=41,of the U . S . Naval Reserve, was reportedkilled in action by a Navy Departmenttelegram sent September 3 to his parentsin Roanoke, Virginia .
