Febraury 29, 1944
Dear Mom + Dad,
Things have been in such a turmoil with me lately that my
correspondence has slipped. I have moved to another squadron and moved my
belongings 3 places before I finally got settled. I have a new pilot, who has
21 missions in and he'll finish up his four and then I'll be back where we
started. It is alright though as now I can get started and get some of these
missions behind me. We were supposed to ride today but the mission was scrubbed
and we didn't go. Tomorrow who knows? As soon as I can find some spare time I
will write you at length and give you the details of what has happened, as well
as the story of my first raid over Augsburg. I think that will interest you. I
got paid today and I will make out a money order for 100 bucks to put away in
my bank account. Have you ever checked to see if my allotment has come through okay? I imagine it will and now another one should be coming in for February.
Your V-mail letters have been coming through fine and I do appreciate them to
no end. I will continue to write as often as I can and give you details of my
life. I will see you soon.
All my love
Bobby
