March 3, 1944 - Mission 2 - Frankfort, Germany

 


March 3, 1944

Dear Mom + Dad,

Received two letters from you yesterday. This time Sunday’s airmail beat Thursday’s V mail as both came at the same time. Glad to hear my package is on the way and I should receive it soon now. Yesterday I was on my second mission this time to Frankfurt.  I assume it was there as we bombed through a complete cloud coverage. All it really was, was just another long ride. I didn't see any fighters and only a little flack over the target. Things aren't so bad as long as they keep missing us. They will too as long as I have anything to say about it.

Received a letter from Jim Dever today, the first one in a long time. He seems to be doing fine down in Brazil. It sure will be a great day when we get all the gang back together again. It won't be long now, I hope. The boys went out again today but we didn't go. I think we have a weekend pass coming up this afternoon and that's why. Expect to go down to London to have a little change for myself. I'll get a good look at it this time as I'll be there for a few days. I'm going to check on it now. I'll write again soon. See you soon.  

All my love

Bobby
