Wording of this Handout:


This is a true story about two wonderful pigeons. Their names were Tyke and Winkie.

In 1943 Tyke carried a message for about 100 miles to reach help for some stranded pilots. This little bird flew through difficult skies, and never gave up until it reached its home perch.

The other bird Winkie, was in an airplane as it crashed in the sea. The plane smashed into the water and broke into pieces, and Winkie's cage broke open.

Away flew the bird, with its wings clogged with oil, and flapped across miles and miles of empty ocean waves. Finally , after 129 miles it reached base.

The men at base had thought the airplane was down and all the men dead, but when Winkie arrived they started their search again. After a few hours, the crew was rescued from the water.

Winkie and Tyke were both honoured for their bravery .
