Classes started today. Had talks by various combat personnel from this theatre who have had vast experience in the type of combat we will be in. For the first time in the army - our talks were really valuable and instructive. Had talks on combat crew organization, radio & its uses, British flight control systems, and flak. We are all beginning to realize that this war is such a complicated game - one can never hope to learn everything.
his evening I experienced my first air raid. The sirens blew at about 8:00 PM. It is a crystal clear night with a full moon. Soon we could hear the distant ack-ack & bombs and see the search lights. It still seemed far away though - I can't seem to realize there is a war going on.
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.
