Our medium bombers dear editor the line coverage Given in the a a stars and stripes to the air phases of the recent operations Aga list Pantelleria has been most stimulating to All Hie u. S. Air forces operating in North Alrica. It has been observed however that the general impression Given from toe treatment in your col hours a Lions is to the effect that most of the last the Aerial offensive was carried out by the b-i7 flying fortresses. This. Naturally was a cause for comment among those sections of our air forces which Are associated with the equally important Ether types of bombardment. Perhaps the greater role being played today by medium bombers in this theater will be More fully appreciated when the total bombardment Effort is pointed out. The medium bombers played a particularly important role in the assault on Pantelleria. During the last live Days of that Campaign the b-26 groups alone dropped 1.103-of bombs. This does figures on the b-25 in North Africa Ever since american aircraft have been gyrating from this continent. To jut a too played a particularly important part in the assault on Pantelleria. One p-40 group in this command carried out 14 missions and 322 sorties during the last five Days of the Campaign. According to the group commander most of the pilots in the group averaged eight Day flying time during two Days of the pan Telleria assault. On june loth the Day of the heaviest bombing this group flew six missions and 127 sorties and shot Down five enemy planes. A it Henry ii. Dunn clean dear editor up too pounds not include missions. The Box s who Are flying the medium bombers in practically daily missions Oxer Long routes frequently to the same targets As Are reached by the heavies Are justly proud of their aircraft and its accomplishments. Naturally they like to see recognition in the columns of our own army publication and in this they have been disappointed. A similar situation exists in relation to the p-40 War Hawks. Which have been the standby of the u. S. Air forces operations this ones for muss they say Dorothy Thompson columnist the whole economic and political Structure of Europe has been changed by the nazis.

We first wish to congratulate those men responsible for such a prodigious Effort. Our Good health is their duty and i rom their past record we have gained a feeling of Confidence. But the w Ork of the medical authorities is in danger of being nullified by the soldiers themselves. Cooks and ups alike Are not As clean As they might be and a Little dirt goes a Long Way in helping a Fly. It is certainly a breach of etiquette for men serving in the Chow line to use their fingers instead of a Fork while serving. We must also condemn those ups who. During a Lull in the Chow line drink or eat from the same ladle that serves hundreds of us. How about it.

Plain language dear editor things must Nexer go so far As to keep selective service men in the army after the War against their wishes. Six months after the xxx a is Over they should All be Back in the states. As soon As these men Are read for discharge. Id like to see All of them who want it granted a three months Brough xxi h pay. Afr that time. They should automatically be dismissed from the service a or their furlough extended another three months. In a recent speech Wendell w Allkie criticized the government for not giving a Clear picture of Post War plans. So far no one has answered him simply because lie is right it seems to me not the least Post War question to be Clar lied is tile Fate of our civilian soldiers the select Ive service men i be noticed the effect All your Post War articles Are having on the men around me. The worst possible thing is to Tell them that Aux of us May be forced to serve after the Battle is won. Deep in my heart in a sure it s in a million other hearts is the knowledge that we xviii be granted our rights. But Why keen us guessing c Mon. America. Tell us in Plain language that after the War. Plus six months w c�?~11 be free to return to our Homes and to the pleasures and people we love. A pvt. Russ Sturgis
