The dak is Jan. 17, 1944. One engine has been knocked out; radio coznmunications and the fuel pump are gone, and your ship has 52 bullet holes in it. A little drafty, wouldn't you, think? Stretching your imagination a little too far, you say? Well, for Early Garret, who lives in Hamil-. ton Hall, it wasn't. It was far from it, foe- these impressive memoirs will long live in his war seasoned: mind. Crashed in Nigeria It- all began nine' years ago. After being graduated from Erie Academy' in 1935, Early worked for five years as -a machinist re pairman in the maintenance de partment of General Electric. On Jan. 9, 1942 'the former Erie track performer enlisted in the Army Air Force. After completing, his , basic training at Fort Meade, Md., Early went to gunnery school at Panama 'City, 'Fla. • 'From there his destination , was overseas.• It was April Fool's , 'day. After flying over South America, his plane landed on Goald Coast, Accra, British West Africa. During the flight, however, his ,ship blew a tire, crash-landing in the j ungle near. Nigeria. After refueling at- Cairo, Egypt, his crew flew over the Mediter rannean Sea to Castel-Benito. There he joined' the 82d bomber squad r o n, 12th bombardment group under the direction of Gen.
