From such a humble beginning grew the mighty Fleet Air Arm which, with a. daring surprise at- tack the night of Nov. 11.‘ 1940. struck a paralyzing blow at the Italian Fleet. as it lay at anchor in Taranto Harbor.

The story was’ told for the first time bv the Admiralty in a book- let "East of Malta and West or ". which detailed the work of Eastern Mediterranean Fleet in the first l8 months of the war. This fleet was without aircraft carriers for the first nine months 0t war. the Admiralty said. Then. in May. i040, the 20-year-old car- rier Eagle - since sunk — arriv- ed from the East Indies.

She had two squadrons ol tor- oedo-carrying Swordfish planes and later acquired lour Gladiator fighters as the basis for a fighter squadron.

But there. was not a fighter pilot aboard. So for a while the living master oi the Eagle. Cmdr. C. L. Keigihley-Peach, went up alone to defend the entire lleet, On one occasion he went up with a bullet still in his thigh lrom a nrevious encounter and shot d0W11 an attacking enemy plane.

l Russians Make Fur-

tral Front Drive On Smolensk .

IDNDON, March 18 — (GP) - German infantry and tanks are counter-attacking endlessly in all attempt to retrieve lost positions along the Donuts River south oi Kharkov wherethe Red Army to- day captured an important hamlet. Moscow announced toniilhi- in l communique telling also of continu- ing Russian successes in the sweep toward Smolensk on the central tront.

The Russian bulletin recorded by the soviet Radio Monitor indicated that massed German tank and motorized infantry attacks in the Chugev sector 22 miles southeast of Kharkov had failed to penetrate Russian lines and had failed to re- cover the lost ground.

Red ahxnen striking on all lronts were credited with destroying or damaging about 55 German troop and supply trucks on Wednesday, silencing 10 Iield batteries. blflwih! up two ammunition dumps and wrecking an enemy train.

Russian Baltic sea forces also were reported to have sunk a 8,000- ton enemy transport.

The mid-day communlqus wday said the Russian armies oi the centre had captured 32 more local- ities south o! Bely. This Red Army column is striking toward Smolensk from the northeast; another group is driving toward the Nazi straig- hold lrom the east along the Vyaz- ma-Smolensk railway, and a third column is operating to the south- east below that railway.

Warm winds have melted the deep snow on this front west oi Moscow and Soviet troops now have discarded their skis, Russian dispatches said.
