CORSAIRS OVER NORTH CHINA By Jack A. Brown

All hands paused for a moment to scan the North China sky when a mighty drone of powerfu l engines reached thei r ears. The noise-mak-ers were soon sighted high flying and speedy Marine F4U Corsair fighter planes.

These sleek c r a f t which patrol the Marines f a r the rmos t outpost in China a r e members of the same famed Marine Fight ing Squadron 211. tha t heroical ly defended Wake Island ear ly in the last war .

As if spellbound the onlookers watched as the fighters broke out of format ion and one a f t e r the other made a circle of the field and came in for a landing. As the last plane touched the ear th the lead plane was a l ready taxiing over to the squadron office to resume i ts r egu la r position on the line.

The onlookers slowly resumed their regular activit ies a s the last fighter cut its engine. Pi lots were to be seen emerging f rom their cockpits and strol l ing over to the squadron ready room only a few ya rds away.

Seated in his office, 211's Com-manding Officer Lieutenant Col-onel Lee C. Merrell , reviewed the flight's procedures as notes were taken on any unusua l observances tha t were made by pilots.

Marine Fight ing Squadron 211 is a t tached to the Firs t Marine Air-c r a f t Wing and is based a t Tsing-tao, China. I ts main job is to guard rai lway lines for possible breaks and to fly cover for the t ranspor t squadron also stationed there . Marine Transpor t Squadron

RECKLESS DRIVING

During the morning hours f rom 0730 to approximately 0815, traffic conditions a re at thei r worst be-tween New Bern and Cherry Point. BUT, the t rouble doesn't s top at l'.;e Main Gate.

Increasingly of late, the traffic si tuation on Roosevelt Blvd. be-tween 0745 and 0815 has been ap-proaching the hazardous stage. This week that s tage was reached. The most flagrant violations of traffic common sense a r e the fol-lowing:

1. Excessive speeding f rom the Main Gate to the Station Theat re area .

2. Disobeying of traffic l ights and signs.

Reckless driving, cut t ing in and out of traffic and passing in

dangerous manner . If you cannot reach work on

Recently when ex-Marine John R. Rice. J r . , of Louisville, Ky., vis-ited at Cherry Point, he brought along "P inky" . . . a real "sa l ty Gyrene pooch." Mr. Rice and his wife accompanied by Pinky were here for a visit with M / S g t . and Mrs. J . F. Harmon.

M/Sg t . Harmon, who is a t tached to Hq. Sq. Station, and Mr. Rice served together in the same outfit and since Pinky also saw service with them, it was fitting that she join in this reunion.

Pinky was only a six-week old puppy when she was adopted by Mr. Rice who was then stationed at Tia Juana , Mexico, with VMF-312. Enroute overseas f rom Mira-mar a short time later , she was smuggled aboard the "Horne t " in an old type navy gas-mask. From then on, her overseas record would do honors to any Leatherneck. In rapid succession she hit tlie fol-lowing places: Ewa, T. H.; the New Hebrides: Ulithi; back to the New Hebrides; then on to Okinawa; the Phil ippines; and finally a f te r the war ' s end back to the States.

Pinky was really the mascot of the Squadron. Sbe had a record book complete with all data, which even included semi-annual mark-ing by the commanding officer. Though she tried hard and was a good "Gyrene," there 's one blot on her record. She had office hours one day when she performed some misconduct on a bunk.

In the invasion of Okinawa, Pinky the "f i rs t lady Marine

Tulagi by name, that was involved in a sort of "Ripley-Be-lieve It Or Not" afTair. It seems that one night Sgt.

France and Germany while rvinif with the Army's Fourth rision Twenty years and a war ler. he saw the Marshall Islands ill with the Fourth. But this ne it was the Fourth Marine Tision. After the First World War, arles Davis got out of the Army

and became Mr. Davis, musician. Tiring of civilian life, however, he reenlisted in the Marine Corps. 1921 was the year. In the peace-time Corps, Charley saw seven years duty in China and one year of duty In Port An Prince, Haiti.

While on duty with the Marine Band in Washington. D. C., M/Sgt . Davis met his wife to be. and they were married in *41. His home is now in MEMQ. He and his wife arrived at the Point in January 1946.

"It's still too far away to say what 111 do when I retire. I don't know what I'll do, maybe stay in; who knows." That was all Charley would say about retiring for publi-cation, but who knows what may be heard "off the record." M/Sgt . Charlew Davis was sworn in by 1st Lt. A. D. Taylor about 1045 a. m. in the Station Adjutant's office, Administration Building.
