Wings Over Europe

ROBERT A. SELLMER '35, heard from at long last, is now in England with the Royal Air Force. Bob is in training to be a bomber pilot. Details in regard to his past activities on the Continent must of necessity be brief. The only report we can make at the present time is that he was an active member of the French Foreign Legion at the time of the Fall of France, and that after four months he succeeded in making his way across to England. His address there is the most intriguing we've known:

1380941 AC2 Sellmer, R."Min-Y-Don"NewquayCornwallEngland

With all due respect to the preachments of pacifists, there was a twinge and a tingle of anticipation running along our spine when we wrote Bob to carve "D. '35" on his first bomb to convey the compliments of the class.

Meanwhile we await the day when the full story of Bob's peregrinations and vagaries since leaving New York in August, 1937 may fully be told. Those who keep back copies of this journal (we file ours in the attic between Godey's Fashion Book, 1861-6, and back numbers of PM) may be interested in reading an account, in the January 1939 issue under Metropolitan Notes, of Bob's first year and a half abroad, including his beating and imprisonment by the Nazi police in Memel, Lithuania, as well as his opinion of the social and political situations at that time.
