U.S. torpedo planes sink German sub
San Jose, Costa Rica (AP) – (Aug. 1)
The TACA Airline announced today that United States torpedo-planes had sunk a German submarine between Curaçao and Trinidad after a TACA pilot informed American Caribbean military headquarters of sighting the U-boat.
The airline said Sherman Wilson, an American pilot, saw the submarine on a regular commercial flight and immediately gave its position.
The announcement added that a group of American patrol bombers and four torpedo planes immediately flew to the place named by Wilson, and sank the raider with several torpedoes after it had surfaced.

In the language of 28 nations, it’s–
Wide World Features
The millions of peoples of the 28 nations fighting against the Axis say it in thousands of languages and dialects, but it all adds up to the same thing – V for Victory.
Put them all together and they’d make the Tower of Babel sound like an elocution-school commencement-day program.
In case you should want to greet some of your friends in the war slogan in their own tongue, here are phonetic translations of some of the more difficult ones:
Russian: Just say П Для Победы (P Dlya Pobyedy) and they’ll know what you mean.
Yugoslavian: В за победу (V za pobedu)
Norwegian: Vi Vil Vinne
Danish: V for sejr
Chinese: 勝是勝利 (Shèng shì shènglì)
Polish: V Znak Zwycięstwa
Czech: V pro vítězství
