70 Missions for Marine Pilot Ends With Furlough Glory
Marine Lt. August Perino 22 son of Mr and Mrs Lawrence Perino 2211 E Washington St is home on a 30 day furlough after nine months in the South Pacific. He flew 70 missions in enemy territory without a scratch or a single bullet striking his Corsair. He says only two fighter pilots share such a record and credits Fiji Island fighters for aiding success.
