Hudson's Craft in Italy

HUDSON'S CRAFT -- In Italy, Pfc. Eric H. Staples, 32, Sanford, Me., of the U.S. Army 15th AF (right) is making a test run in the boat built by Sgt. Donald E. Hudson, 21, DeKalb, Ill., who is operating the controls. Hudson's craft is powered by an air compressor motor he scrounged in a salvage yard. The passenger compartments are two gasoline tanks from a P-38 Lightning fighter plane. Kicking up a white wake is a Hudson-built propeller made from scrap metal. Both men are ordnance workers in the 464th Liberator Bomb Group.
