As soon as things had “cooled
off a little,” McCabe checked in at
a field hospital, and headed back
to a hospital ship at Naples, where
he spent -three and a half glorious
months’* recuperating.
The next call for McCabe’s ser-
vices as a glider pilot came in the
crossing of the Rhine River. The
operation was 8 big one, and the
group was charged with the job
of landing on the other side of the
Rhine ahead of Montgomery’s ad-
vancing British Army.
The German Air Force, by this
time had been shattered and dan-
ger from an aerial attack was a<
a minimum, as the planes headed
toward the landing area. McCabe's

jeep, two airborne troops and a
co-pilot.
