The following story appears courtesy of and with thanks to Will Seaton Arnett, 1st Lt. USAAF and John S. Green.
Took off at 12 o'clock to bomb the docks at Souse. After climbing through a thousand foot overcast, the whole of North Africa was covered over. One plane iced up going through the clouds and the pilot gave orders to bail out and the navigator was the first one out. About that time he dropped his load of bombs and regained control of his plane so no one else hit the silk. Thayer was all by his lonesome in the mountains and hasn't been found yet. The target was completely covered sow e came back with our bombs. I flew with Capt O'Carrol.
December 30, 1942
Routine. The Navigator hasn't been found yet.
