'l‘he operation, largest of this type ever attempted in this ‘flleatre, was mapped out with unusual care and thorough- ness. The filers were "briefed" individually on the part they ‘were to play, and were actually called on to do two rs- hearsals over North African terrain similar to tllat of Fog- gis. Never before had Americ- an pilots flown so fast or so low for so long.

After the Tunisian and Sicilian campaigns, when Allied. fragmen- isiion bombs smashed hundreds of German and Italian aircraft par- led in protective revetments cn tirdmmes, the ensny apparently decided to disperse the planes over s wider area and tried out the st the new Foggin base. Here main field, with I0 or 1i sat- ellites, was spread over a large, list valley. With no planes closer than 100 yards apart, the German Air force felt It could safely re- build its strong bomber force in southern Italy without running 'l-./.~ hlk of crippling losses from Ameri- tan and British raids.

Ital-Gen. James ‘H. Doolittle, commander oi the American strat- trb sir force in North Africa, and his staff studied the problem and decided that. a low-level strafing titlck was the answer.

12 Prisoners Are Ilecaptured

By Robert R. Robinson Canadian Press Staff Writer

KINGSTON, Ont, Aug. 2'! — iCP)—Police and military author- ities tonight intenslfied their search for seven of the 19 prison- ers of war who escaped last night from Kingston's mooted heavily- guarded Fort Henry ill a quietly executed break.

Earlier reports that four of the remaining seven still free had been recaptured near Napanee proved false when police said the four men brought in a car by them from Napanee were civilians aiding in the search.

While a miltary court of in- quiry started investigation of the break, second largest since prison cam s were eetabllshed in Cana- lla, t was learned authoritatively they escaped through e. sewer which runs from the basement of the building in which they were quartered to the nearby St. Law~ rence River.

The prisoners burrowed three feet to the sewer, unused for some time. and moved through it under the 30-foot moat and the four-foot thick, 20-foot high wall to a point near the river. There they burrow- ed 10 feet upward to temporary freedom.

The l9 slipped away from a con- cert that was being staged by their fellow prisoners. made their way to a sub-basement and starteri their escape by removing bricks covering the sewer.
