African natives prepare for air attack. Guarding against possible enemy attacks in Africa, crack veterans of the Battle of Britain are instructing African natives in anti-aircraft units. With an Allied plane as the target, the natives receive actual combat practice by firing directly at the plane rather than ahead of it. The pattern of shell bursts behind the plane is easily scored in this manner without the use of a sleeve target

Vitliano Scambis is an Italian from New York. He has only taken out his first papers, but he is a real American and proud of it, despite the fact that his shoulder has been pretty well shot to pieces, his arm damaged and one of his eyes shot away, he greets everybody with a bright smile and says: "I gotta it very bad from those Huns. But if I had lost my life I would have been glad to give it for my country." Describing his brief stay in France to a Red Cross visitor, he said "I feel vera bad that I gotta it so soon, because I wanta to be out there a fighting. When I saw the poor French people and their cities all smashed, it broke my heart!" On another occasion he said, "American is my country. I want to go back to Italy and see my fodder and mudder for a few days after the war. Then I wantta go home to America!"
