It ended abruptly at a steel fence, but a roadway went on in a twisting course, making detection of the runway difficult. "Very clever," Stan said. "I was sure you'd appreciate it," Domber said. "Now we'll have a look at the P-51." They entered the underground hangar by going down a shaft in an elevator. Stepping out of the elevator Stan saw a well-lighted and spacious hangar.
If he could interest Domber without giving away any secrets, he might be given a chance to escape. "You were flying a P-51, a Mustang, the British call it." "Yes." "This ship has some very interesting equipment on it, some typically American improvements." "Just what features do you mean?" Stan asked. "I operate a plane factory. We have been experimenting with a supercharger.
O'Malley was wagging his wings, signaling to go down. The fighters they spotted, three in number, did not try to intercept them. Stan signaled back and they all peeled off. The P-51 went down smoothly but with a swift rush that set Stan back against the shock pad. He had to ease on a bit more power to stay with O'Malley who was trying his ship out.
"But I have had general instructions on the new dual supercharger." Stan spoke slowly. "You might, perhaps, be able to suggest repairs for one that is partly destroyed?" Domber asked eagerly. "I have patched together some badly hashed ships," Stan answered. Domber rubbed his hands together. "I think we shall have a very pleasant time working upon a P-51," he said.
The FW's had been joined by five Me 110's, but the Jerries did not close with him. Stan headed for home as fast as the P-51 could travel, which topped four hundred miles per hour by a wide margin. He was roaring along with no opposition in sight and a clear sky around him when he suddenly spotted a plane in his mirror. It was overhauling him rapidly. Suddenly Stan grinned.
"Glad ye're alive," he said eagerly. "O'Malley?" Sim stared at O'Malley as he said it. He looked up at Stan. "Wilson, you here, too." Stan grinned. "Yes, I'm here. We cracked up on a fighter strip while bombing with Mustangs. I'm glad you made it safely. When I last saw you, your P-51 had buried its nose in the ground." Sim's eyes narrowed sharply. "That crack-up knocked me silly," he said grimly.
