Flak started again about 3:00 AM & lasted till nearly 5:00 but it was too damn cold to get out of bed. 5 planes went down near here.
A B-17 attempted a landing here with one engine knocked out but it cracked up killing 5 men. A casualty the Germans don't know about.
General Anderson, CO of 9th Bomber Command gave us a talk after 6 hours of classes - it was quite interesting. He explained our ultimate aim as a combat outfit - that of destroying the enemy air force so that we have complete air superiority when the invasion comes.
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.
