     FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM dated. Monday August 16, 1943: WACO FLIER BACK FROM ENGLAND; FLEW 15 MONTHS WITH RAF, NOW IN USAAF.

Waco, Aug. 16- THAD TABB, now a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Force, came home here recently after nearly two years in England, and 15 months in the Royal Air Force. He took part in the bloody Commando raid on Dieppe.
He is the sole survivor of a group of 20 American pilots who joined the RAF in Sept 1941, "to get a head start in the war". He donned the US uniform last Dec 19 and became a gunnery school instructor. He returned to this country for a new assignment.
During his service in the RAF he piloted Spitfires and Hurricane fighter-bombers. One of his early assignments was to a squadron all the other members of which were Poles, Czechs and Norweigians. "They were ready to fight every minute and really knew what they were fighting for."
For several months he flew Spitfires as a cover for convoys off the coast of England. His first enemy encounter was with a "weather-man", a German pilot sent over England to check flying conditions. TABB and several other Spitfire pilots opened fire on the "weather-man", but failed to shoot him down.
In diving to attack enemy troop trains, ammunition dumps and other facilities in France, TABB sometimes flew within 75 feet of the ground, and could see Germans scattering in every direction as fast as they could run. Always the French people would wave the RAF pilots on.
TABB would not discuss the Dieppe raid in detail. Some phases of that operation still are military secrets.
"I wasn't scared during the raid; there wasn't time then," he said, "but when I landed back in England I was so scared I thought someone would have to help me out of my plane."
It has been the duty of his squadron to strafe Nazi machine gun positions on the shore, a hazardous, low-level operation.
Once TABB wore off a wing in landing after his undercarriage folded up. At another time his engines went dead, while on patrol near the Orkney Islands,off the coast of Scotland. He parachuted to the North Sea, after radioing his position, and was picked up shortly afterward.
He liked the English people and their quiet sincerity, so much that he is considering going back to England to live after the war.
"They are fighters and don't say anything about what they have done," he said. "Its a job with them that must be done and done well." He said many British children never have seen lights at night "and most of the younger children reach for their gas masks before they reach for their clothes. They trudge off to school, sometimes forgetting their school books, but never forgetting their gas masks. Many of them never have tasted ice cream."
TABB had one egg in five months, and two bananas in two years. When he returned to the United States the first thing he did was pick up a big handful of American soil "and just feel it". Then he headed for a cafe and ordered a steak- and bananas.
He was the forty-third member of the American Eagle Club in London. Bebe Daniels, former silent motion picture star and former resident of Dallas, broadcast several times with him for the club. She was always ready to welcome Texans to her London home for tea.
TABB was accompanied here, for a visit with his parents, Dr. and Mmrs. T. E. Tabb, by his wife, the former Margaret Butler of Ozona, a 1937 graduate of Baylor University.
Before quiting to take up flying, TABB was a Baylor student. He is a graduate of Waco High School. Thaddeus was born at Hewitt, McLennan County, Texas, on 9 March 1916.¹ He married Margaret Effie Butler at Ozona, Crockett County, Texas, on 25 July 1943.¹ Thaddeus died on 5 March 1983 at Waco, McLennan County, Texas, at age 66.² His body was interred after 5 March 1983 at Ozona, Crokett County, Texas, at Cedar Hill Cemetery.³
