Rainstorm.  Lost one P-40 New Zealand flyer and one S.B.D. plane – Both pilots killed.  Four F4F’s also cracked up on the field – no one else hurt.  O’Malley led a fight with our tent-mate.  We’re all in a fighting mood.  Wish we’d leave for action soon.

Final grade for exam, 3.7.  Went into countryside and took snaps.  Alert called on entire island.

Presented O’Malley the $500.00 – he sure was happy.  Attended Army church services.  Navy funeral services held at our camp for the three flyers lost last Thursday.  One hop late this evening.
