U.S. COAST GUARD RESCUES ALLIED AIRMAN.

U.S. COAST GUARD RESCUES ALLIED AIRMAN. An Allied airman whose Mosquito bomber crashed into the English Channel is wrapped in blankets by crewmen of a U.S. Coast Guard cutter after he was rescued from the sea. The cutter heads for Cherbourg, Allied port in Northern France, flashing radio word for an ambulance to carry the injured aviator to a hospital. The Coast Guard's Rescue Flotilla is credited with the saving of more than 1100 lives at sea since the first Allied landings in Normandy.
