Addressed to "Dad + Bee." All is well and he has flown twenty-five missions now. He normally flies with the same crew, with an extra person now and then. He's certain that he wrote to his parents about the boys and where they're from. He would've notified them immediately if any were from the east coast. They're an "A-1 crew as proven by several close calls that we've pulled through together."
