The following story appears courtesy of and with thanks to Will Seaton Arnett, 1st Lt. USAAF and John S. Green.

Another easy one and short today only five planes. Our target was an airdrome at Sicily but there wasn't enough planes on it to bother with. We knocked out what planes were down there though. we didn't see a single fighter or burst of flak and boy that's the way I like 'em.

One year ago today I graduated from Cadet school and in one year I've covered lots of territory. I've seen and done in one year what the average person, under normal circumstances couldn't do in ten years.
