Supposed to start classes today but they are postponed for a day. Had a talk by a colonel from one of the active B-26 Groups already here and we are beginning to learn the set-up and one just begins to realize how vast and intricate and detailed our operations will be. Losses in other groups have been less than 1 of one percent so far - by far the best record in any theatre of operations. We are in the 9th Air Force which is a tactical force deployed to aid the ground forces in the coming invasion of the continent. Our preliminary raids are more or less training for this coming invasion.
Ray Olshak and I went for a long walk this evening over to the village of White Roding and saw an old church 600 years old - it was one of the eldest structures I have ever seen.
Played hearts & censored mail in the evening.
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.
