Mistaken Identity

That would be on like another little experience we had there, usually fly one day and off the next day as a flight leader, and some of the guys that weren't flying, we decided to go fishing down on the Ayeyarwady River, but not with fishing lines, with hand granades. So we go down with these hand granades, and the, we had a wing commander flying from group and he decided he wanted to go with us, a little short fellow, Wing Commander Lee. So we go down and we throw these granades in and the fish come belly up, and so you just go in and gather the fish. Also we had to swim and what not. But with the granades going off, we made so much noise that the armoury by this time, who had crossed the river and gone down. They heard all this noise behind them, they thought the Japanese had come in behind them and they sent a patrol back to see what was going on, just a bunch of RAF pilots. And were we glad we had a wing commander with us, he took the heat.
