PRAISES PROGRAMS
While on the subject. I would
like 10 mention a word of praise
for the wonderful work done by
special services in recording all
the best radio programs in America
and getting them TO the various
theaters of war where they are
rebroadcast on a regular schedule
by our many AEF radio stations.
From my own experiences, l
would classify this as one of the
most powerful factors in keeping
up the morale of our troops sec

goes primarily 10 Col Tom Lewis,
whose wife, incidentally, is Loretta
Young. and a capable staff from

and best friends.

Although there were only Il of
ours, they piled in and when the
scrap was finished. they accounted

our part.
The good news spread like

and it was another hour before
the boys got through discussing it
and celebrating it before turning

MUCH PAPER WORK
There is plenty of paper work
attached to operations on the
ground on a field of this size,
consisting as IL does of some thou
sand flying and ground personnel,
plus so-called service teams,
which do all the heavy repair
work such as fixing shot up wings
and the like, flying control per-
sonnet. fire fighters, MPs. and
weather station personnel.
All in all, they total over 1000.
There Is also plenty of non
operational flying TO be done in
teaching new boys from the
States how they fly here.
For instance, there is the old
timer who is checking over with
a new boy, who has had over 500
hours at home in P-39s. P-40s
and P-61s, teaching him just
how they do things here.
Paul saw the two of them flying
around and had a half dozen
things to say TO the new fellow on
the ways in which he will have 10
correct his flying technique to con-
form with the standards here
abouts.
When we finished work I tried
my best to get one of the piggy
backs and go up and join the boys
who were dogfighting all over the
sky, but they were both already
up.
So I had to content myself
watching them chase one another
in a series of brilliant sham air
battles.
Our heavies had been out that
day and one made an emergency
landing with two motors shot out.
while another landed some 10
miles away In a field.
Security forbids me saying any
more than that.
