Each of the transports circled the Field waiting until the rendezvous was Complete. Fighters hovered above them and above the fighters passed wave after wave of bombers. It was a mighty Armada the greatest air Fleet Ever assembled. The sky was filled with planes As far As the Eye could see.

We mop Ped about Midnight and Wen i. I to find ourselves places among the rocks on the nearby Hillside this Hillside was practically a Cliff it must have gone up in at least a 30-degree Grade and you could hardly stand on it it wa1 covered with rocks and an # specially vicious Brand of Thistle tint grew Between the rocks. It a it pitch dark and we had to find our Little places to lie Down several Hundred of us largely by feel i climbed almost to the top a the Cliff and luckily found a slow my place without any bumps on it just Long enough for my Bob it i trumped Down the thims 1 thought a few trembling thought about snakes and lizards anti then Lay Down. I put one shelter half on the ground wrapped my Blanket around be and then Drew the other shelter Naif Over Nath thistles had such a Strong repugnant odor that i thought i could not go to sleep. But i was dead to the world in the next two seconds and in fact never slept bitter in my life. The next thing i knew the entire universe seemed to be exploding. Guns were going everywhere and planes were screaming re by Down on top of us. It was a Dawn dive bombing. I thought to myself a a of. My god they be got us this time f did no to even look out from under my shelter half. I just reached Ait one Arm to where i knew my Steed helmet was lying and put it on my head under the cover. I also remember lying on my Side Aud getting my Knees up under univ Chin so there would t be so min h of me to hit. What happened was this a the planes had bombed some vehicle in the Valley below us and pulled out of their dives right Over our Hill. They just barely cleared the Crest As they went Over. They  have been too feet above us. We were All lying there in the open perfect targets for machine gunning. Though nothing actually happened to us it was my worst div bombing scare of the War and i Felt mighty glad the tunisian business was about Over. The Story of the year getting the news first.
