A MIDDLE EAST AIR FIELD--COL VICTOR VICTOROVITCH TASHIN, COMMANDER OF ONE OF RUSSIA'S GREATEST AIR SQUADRONS, WHICH IS OFFICIALLY CREDITED WITH SHOOTING DOWN MORE THAN 300 GERMAN PLANES, STEPS DOWN FROM THE HATCH OF A NORTH AMERICAN B-25 "MITCHELL" BOMBER, AFTER TAKING DELIVERY ON THE PLANE FOR THE RUSSIAN AIR FORCE. SHIP WAS FLOWN FROM U.S. FACTORY BY AMERICAN FERRY PILOTS TO THIS FIELD "SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST", WHERE RED PILOTS, AFTER A BRIEF COURSE OF INSTRUCTION, WILL FLY THE BOMBER TO RUSSIA. ALTHOUGH NOT A PILOT, HIMSELF, COL. TASHIN UNDERSTANDS PLANES AND IS A CAREFUL INSPECTOR。 HE WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN THIS BOMBER--THE SAME TYPE THAT GENERAL JIMMY DOOLITTLE USED TO BOMB TOKYO. (PASSED BY CENSORS)。
