Scouts and Raiders War Heritage in U S History
A Washington column recounts WWII guerilla raids and the daring scouts and raiders who slipped through airbase defenses to study layouts, plant notes, and sometimes bombs. It links early British French experience to modern U S practice and notes a captain’s recounted exploits and a ribbon earned for bravery. It also cites ongoing talks by the War Manpower commission on postwar job transitions for women workers.
