The following story appears courtesy of and with thanks to Will Seaton Arnett, 1st Lt. USAAF and John S. Green.
The B-17's were really operating today, first, one group of the 97th took off this morning and second, a group from the 301st took off behind them.
This afternoon the same thing happened. All flights were on airports near Gabes. Frag bombs were used.
I was flying as Lt. Biesel's co-pilot.
The flight was rather easy. The 97th was in front of us and caught all the flak.
