PAID a visit to the front today, and traversed the area previously attacked by Soviet and Outer Mongol planes without hearing reports of, or seeing, one Outer Mongol plane over the Manchoukuo lines.
Reports from the Lake Buir region, however, stated that several minor air battles took place in the course of the day.
Yesterday evening, a Soviet pursuit plane was brought down in flames, the pilot bailing o in his parachute. He was made a prisoner, and later I interviewed him.
He was so badly burned, and was suffering so badly from shock, however, that I was unable to obtain any reply, beyond learning that his name was Traminsky, and that he was 23 years cî age.
An atmosphere of uncertainty prevails here, and the imminence of a land conflict is feared.—Reuter.
