Being aboard a ship which was torpedoed and sunk while enroute to Europe, losing an engine in a raid over Budapest, Hungary, being forced to return alone except for two trailing enemy fighters with whom he played hide and seek among the clouds were among the many adventures of Jack H. McFarland, 22, of Burnet, Texas, a fighter Pilot, who returned to Jefferson Barracks, Mo., today (Sept. 7) after 22 months service in England, North Africa and Italy.
"I am glad I went and you can bet I'm glad to be back." McFarland stated. "Ilearned a lot and saw many things I could not even have imagined if I had not seen them with my own eyes."
McFarland, who is the son of R.J. McFarland, 531 Highland Blvd., San Antonio, Texas, piloted P-38s, P-39s and P-51s during his 51 missions, 235 combat hours against the enemy.
