Olin McDonald, Carolina alumnus from Bishopville, returned not long ago from two years of homh ing Europe. After an interview with a Babcock all-girl English class and and A.P. photographer with a no-good camera, he probably wished he were back in his history-making liberator bomber, the "Blasted Event." Flanked by his wife. Anne, and his former teacher, Babcock, Olin posed as the camera clicked fruitlessly and the girls gaped at his decorations. Olin has received the Distinguished Flying Cross and cluster, the Presidential Citation and the Air Medal with three clusters. The Distinguished Flying Cross and Presidential Citation were awarded for his participation in the bombing raid over the Rumanian Oil Fields. Olin led a group of big bomb ers on this raid. Speaking of the raid. lie said that in order to get below the anti-aircraft fire some planes scraped the ground, and that it was impos sible to get too high to see the flames from the field-. Olin has taken part in 25 major bombing missions and countless minor ones. He has shot down an even dozen Nazis. lie planned the raids over Berlin, and. has hombed every Nazi held country in Europe. 1ie served on submarine patrol for a year. Between camera clicks. Olin com mented oii everything from secret weapons to English cigarettes-and English girls. Speaking of the pleas ant side of bombing, Olin stated the Rmnania was the prettiest country over which he had flown, and that the Mediterranean water was so ci4ar that fish could be seen from 3.0" ft. in the air. On the grimmer side. Olin told cf the time when his and another bomber turned back over Austria to help four disabled planes, and saved them. Although he has never been wounded. Olin had a narrow escape when flack hit a window lie was looking out of over Germany. Olin's "Blasted Event," has dropped about 175 thousand lbs. of bombs. Lowell Thomas made a movie short about the bomber not long ago. S\'hen at Carolina, Ol1n was captaii of the boxing team and southern con ference bantam weir;ht champion for two years.
