On South again today to Natal - the eastern tip of Brazil and jumping off place to Africa. This part of the country is just like Texas - sandy waste land with some shrubs, enough to make it wonderful cattle country. Flew over Fortaliza - second largest city in Brazil - it is much like Long Beach. Natal is hot and dusty with a steady east wind blowing in off the ocean. It is fairly dry and cool at nights though tonight is the most beautiful night I have ever seen. Full moon, 72 warm breeze, a 300 mile visibility - oh what a night for romance. Went to an outdoor movie and saw best demonstration of morale I have seen in the army. They had a community sing and everyone actually sang - the first time I have ever seen that. The fellows like it here although it is almost completely isolated from civilization. Natal is very small.
The 1944 Journal of WWII Pilot Bill Callison. Follow the adventures of Bill as written in the daily journal he kept. While this is 64 years after his entries into the journal his mother gave him for Christmas in 1943, you will be able to experience WWII England and France. This is truly a family treasure that I am sure you will enjoy.
