Darlings,
So happy to hear that dad was given extra gasoline. I knew they would-we aren’t short of gasoline it’s the tires they’re worrying about.
Gosh! I hope Mrs. Haynes recovers from her illness. That big house wouldn’t be the same without her. I wrote a letter to Ned quite a while back but, haven’t received an answer yet. I suppose he is worrying too much about his mother can’t blame him-I’d worry plenty about my darling mom.
All the boys enjoyed Jocie’s pictures – they really are good. Someday my little sister will probably be a designer for some big company.
We had a night flying schedule last night-I flew the graveyard period from 10:30 PM to 12:00 AM. I got up to my zone okay, when it started to rain so they called us down-darn it. I was really enjoying myself too. During the day I flew solo formation with my instructor as lead ship and Bob Thomas on the other side. We really held a tight formation. Our instructor did steep turns, chandelles, steep climbs-everything-but we stayed in there pretty close. Lots of times he’d turn without indicating the direction so we never take our eyes off his ship. We don’t even know where we are all of the time.
It seems so funny when we are coming in for a landing-he wiggles the stick to let us know we are coming in-and, I didn’t even know we were near the field. Gosh! It’s so much fun.
Well darlings, I hope you have heard about me passing my 20 hour check by now. I am sending my promotion papers. Aren’t I big stuff?
Your loving son,
Jim
