Captain Conrad N. Jordan, 27-1•year old pilot of 220 Larch Ave.,1iTeaneck, N. J., returned to his Ifhome base today after landing ml• France and establishing another!• precedent. Captain Jordan, a flight!leommandcr in the B-26 Marauder II Group, commanded by Col. Richard IIT. Coiner, Jr., of San Antonio,!SjTexas, was not only the first air-JI nan of this group to land on II French soil, but he was also first]J of the group to land on English II soil. After the transatlantic flight!I which brought this Group's planes E| to the European Theatre of Oper-1Stations some months ago, Capt. II Jordan's plane was the first to II land in "England. f

Known around the base by the!isobriequet, "Lucky", the Captain Iiseems to have a penchant fov LhelHnumber 'one'. His landing ii'fSFrancc was on one engine.a While earring out a sortie net• Cherbourg in support of groutfS operation on the Western Fron9 the captain, his crew, and then I3 Marauder "Grunt and Groan" ran|Binto flak. This was on the day th '| the Ninth Air Force's mediuir| plastered German troops entrene-i1 ed on high ground ringing the |I great French transatlantic portI the most concentrated aerial bom-11 bardment any single area has re-1I ceived since the invasion began. I

There wasn't much visual satis-1I faction in the bombing because |] they were blasting their way 1I areas wheie the Nazis were dij ging in.

The captain went on to s»y th 1!ihe was "amazed" at the prodig-llions amount of military equipment!• about. "It was all over the place;!I guns, shells, ciates, gliders, arm-I1 ored vehicles and mechanized!I equipment—everything you can!• think of. We met a lot of 'Ameri-Ilean infantrymen there. Most of j• thorn hadn't been up to the front!• yet, but they were sure leading ajI rough life on that landing strip."

Because of the constant German II stealings in that area, the fox-hole I1 is an indispensable part of the in-1I Cantryinan'i living quarter*, he re- jlover the country-side. The boysI pick them up and line their fox-I holes with them. They take a lotiI of pride in their trenches, claimingJto have the only silk-lined fox-jI holes in the world.

"The whole area has prett• much of a hangover from the!lfight which took place there. ItIlooks haggard, all pock-markedlland full of shell craters. They hacllI just had a spirited dog-fight IJ around there before we landed.lI But we didn't see any aerial aetiv-IJ ity, except the evidence of the goodlI fighters we've got. Those pea-lJ shooter boys have really got con-lJtroV of things. And were the!I French people glad to see us."jI Captain Jordan -went on to say he |I was overcome by the amiability of J
