crswu u u IJGLLW THE T EKTON USALUTE TO ZE COMRADE 1 Tribute Paid Kullberg by French Airmen-Capt. Nungcsser Puts Wreatli on Akron Flier's Grave By PAUL CAMPBELL s'Salute to ze comrade! With this simple tribute fervently ut' tered, Capt. Charles Nungesser, French war ace, placed a wreath on the grave of Harold A. Kullberg, American ace, at Glendale Cemetery, Saturday afternoon. All pomp was dispensed with: there was no air of glamour in the deed, but it conf jurediup memories of valorous deeds per' formed on the battlefields of France by this unassuming soldier of the air and his sleeping comrade, who was killed in an accident last August at Stow field, when his plane, in which he was instructing .1 student flyer, crashed 2,000 feet to the ground. SPEAKER AT RECEPTION Captain Nungesser came to Akron as the guest of Akron automobile and radio dealers and was the principal speaker at a luncheon at the Elks' Club. Cne could easily imagine that the rigors of war had left their mark on him, for even -'ltr f nerves of steel could hardly remain steady after the experiences of the French ace in the World War. Captain Nungesser is conceded to be the world's greatest war ace. He was credited with bringing down 105 German planes. The records do not tell the exact number of engagements in which heparticipated with enemy planes, but it is easily estimated that the number would exceed 200. He has a war record of 8,000 flying hours and has been decorated by every government which took part in the allied cause. A piece of shell tore away the lower part of his jaw, but he had it rebuilt, Even a glass jaw cannot efface the winning smile which he occasionally displays. If Captain Nungesser knows or believes he is a hero, he gave no indication of it. He would not tell of his record. His conversaf tion was limited almost exclusively to apologizing for his limited knowledge of English and answering pointfblank ques' tions. ' jeu--
