Does anyone here have a copy of the US magazine 'Flying' that was dated November 1942?

I noted a listing for it on ebay which states there's an article by an RNZAF chap called D.L. Jones about his escape from java.

http://cgi.ebay.com/FLYING-NOV-1942-WW2 ... 5ad5cc07ed

I'm not really keen to purchase the whole magazine as I'm sure others out there would want it to fill a gap in their own collection, but I'd love to see a scan of the RNZAF article if anybody here has a copy please?

Dave, it would appear that Challenge Publications' own Michael O'Leary has retold at least a portion of Sgt. Pilot Jones' tale in an article entitled, "Shining Stars", published in two parts in Air Classics in 2001. Here's a link to the story in case you're interested:
