Bomber Leader McEwen Heads RC AFB Section in Britain
Air Commodore C M Black Mike McEwen of the RC A F directs a bomber group in Britain from a desk overseeing three stations. A wartime RAF pilot and RC A F member since 1924, he has commanded units in Canada and overseas to ease pressure on Italy and Japan. Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz weighs submarine strategy as Allied plans hinge on invasion spot and German naval dispositions. A northern channel invasion could bottle up ships if Norway is chosen, while Skaggerak landing effects would be limited to sinking warships in range.
