U.S. COAST GUARD RESQUES ALLIED AIRMEN.

U.S. COAST GUARD RESQUES ALLIED AIRMEN. Two Allied airmen downed in a crash landing in the English Channel smile gratefully at U.S. Coast Guardsmen who resqued them from the sea. The airmen ran out of gas when they flew into an electrical storm on their return from a mission over Germany. Forced to make a crash landing, they were picked up by the crew of a U.S. Coast Guard cutter on patrol off the Cherbourg Peninsula. One of the officers is shown here making fast the raft in which the flyers were floating.
