, erty motors in the long over—water
[flight to the Carribeans in 1919,
‘and two years later he Was back
in Haiti fighting the natives in
revolution and made some daring
flights. It was there that “Woody”
is said to have developed the dive-
bombing idea which is proving
so effective in this war.
I Earned Honors
During the years of his rise to
the Colonelcy he has earned all his
stripes and honors in active ser-
vice, mostly on the Atlantic
Coast, stationed at Quantico, but
lmore recently at San Diego,
where his wife and daughter
make their home, his son now be-
ing in training for air service.
During these 25 years of peace he
has featured in many events de-
signed to impress the nation with
the importance of the airplane in
peace as well as war, has had his
share of hair-breadth escapes
from serious injury, and returns
home for his brief rest tough and
weathered by his more recent ex-
periences in the South Pacific
waters.
Here in Shelton besides meeting
Imany of the people he knew in
youth, now grown up to middle
age like himself, “Woody” was in
demand for more public talks and
gave the boys at the high school
a brief review of some of his ex-
periences, and of his observations
at home and abroad, centered ar-
ound the idea that Americans
have fought for their liberties
throughout history, and now the
job of keeping the nation free af-
ter it is saved again will devolve
on youth now at their schooling.
Speaks To Klwanlans
Speaking before the Kiwanis
Club Tuesday he went further into
his more recent experiences in the
fighting in the Solomons, told of
the ships and planes and of the
several battles now so well known
in which his planes took part,
as well as the daily and nightly
encounters with the Japs by sea
and land. For the first few weeks
after landing on Guadalcanal the
Marines were badly outclassed
and without support, during which
lperiod the Japs took‘ heavy toll
of the Allies, but slowly the bal-
ance has turned in favor of our
I forces with planes, guns, men and
supplies, and from now on the
enemy will be outclassed although
still dangerous. However, Col.
Sanderson said the Japs are no
mean foe, their Zero planes are
faster but more vulnerable, their
spirit is good but their treachery
is bad; and after a few such ex-
periences the Americans get hard-
boiled and take few prisoners.
His summary of the fighting
“down under” is about What the
public has gained by the stories
in the news, particularly of the
naval battles in which our older
vessels suffered much‘damage, but
the new type are keeping the Japs
at distance, so far. His stories of
picking Jap snipers out of trees
and dodging in “fox holes” from
aerial strifing, wallowing in rain
and mud in the early days of
ffghting made his hearers realize
the news stories more deeply.
Tropical diseases were adding to
the dangers, but American hos-
pital service was right behind the
, lines supporting the fighters with
la high percentage of life saving.
Altogether Col. Sanderson’s story
was reassuring for future success,
but made it plain that the Jap
enemy was no push over and
would be contesting every foot of
ground already gained until our
planes could strike at the vital
spot of Japan itself.
