Studios Toured by R.A.F. Men
Southern California studios and recreation centers [sic] opened wide their doors yesterday to 220 British airmen of the R.A.F.’s 35th Heavy Bombardment Squadron who landed at Long Beach Army Air Base Sunday in 16 giant Lancasters and two York transports.
A veteran pathfinder squadron of the R.A.F.’s night raids on the Reich, the flight crossed the Atlantic in formation on Operation Goodwill and arrived at Long Beach after a flying tour across country to participate in the A.A.F.’s anniversary celebration here next Thursday.
Actresses Are Guides
Squadron members yesterday were divided into groups and toured Warner Bros., R.K.O., Universal and Republic studios, with actresses as their guides.
One group was feted at Pickfair, Mary Pickford’s home, and others were guests at the home of Ruth Day, prominent British woman, at 2049 Oakstone Way, West Los Angeles.
Stratemeyer to Speak
Officers of the squadron will be guests of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and the Air Force Association at an A.A.F. Day dinner Thursday night at the Hollywood Roosevelt.
Principal speaker will be Lt. Gen. George S. Stratemeyer, former commander of the American Air Forces in China, and now chief of the Air Defence Command.
