The following story appears courtesy of and with thanks to Will Seaton Arnett, 1st Lt. USAAF and John S. Green.
Up at 4:30, French Toast for breakfast. Briefing at 5:30 and off at 6:45 to bomb some convoys on the Mediterranean. We had four targets and never found a darn one because the whole sea was completely covered over. So after 5:30 of patrolling we came back with our bombs and landed.
I flew co-pilot to Ninney today.
My shoulders are killing me from flying so much formation.

It's been a long bad day and no mission was scheduled and all I've done all day is write letters, listen to music, and bull sessions.
March 15, 1943
Played volley ball against the enlisted men the biggest part of the day. The whole group had a holiday.
