His tragic death, coming as it did with victory in sight in the European theatre of war and with a continuous series of successful operations in the Pacific against the Japanese, deeply affected everyone at Hill Field, whether members of the army air forces or civilian war workers. Before the outbreak of the war, during the trying early days right after Pearl Harbor, throughout the years of planning and building the industrial arsenal of Democracy here in America and the selection, training and engagement overseas of our Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, the guiding hand of President Roosevelt has directed the nation during its most critical period. His task has now been assumed by President Harry S. Truman, who has pledged himself to carry and war presout the policies of our great peace-tim-e will direct the war ident.

We of the Ogden Air Technical Service Command can render no finer tribute to the memory of President Roosevelt nor render greater service to President Truman than to rededicate ourselves to the job at hand, working night and day unremittingly toward carrying out the tasks we are assigned. y Colonel, Air Corps, Commanding, Ogden Air Technical Service Command - (A column to disseminate information relating to civilian personnel administration.

In property and supply this position he was chief of special projects from July, 1942, to he was July, 1943. At that time made chief supervisor of the disposal section in supply, later leaving this to accept his present position.

To editor.) sistance was repeated with pride by Lorenzo Bishofi, former staff sergeant with the AAF overseas and now a worker in armament installation of maintenance, when he told the story of the mission to Hanover in July, 1943. When he was a gunner with the Army Air Forces, before his honorable discharge on October 23, 1943, Bishoff took part in four bombing missions over Germany, Kiel Trondheim, Werner-Mundand Hanover. The last mission was the hardest. Three hundred and twenty took off at dawn from England. Apparently the Germans had been tipped off because there were an estimated 500 fighters waiting for them when they were half way across the channel. ; The German pursuit planes flew in formation around the for about five minutes . . just out of range of the American guns. That was a common tactic to make the gunners nervous and cause them to waste ammunition. Bishoff says, however, that as far as he was concerned, the theory was all He said he was more wrong. nervous before the enemy planes appeared and it was almost a relief to see them. Nazi Planes Attack The Jerries attacked the bombers before they had even reached the mainland. Bishoff's plane, the Charlie in "Maybe", was Tail-En- d the second group of the three-grou- p formation. Luckily for his crew, the Jerries concentrated on nose attacks on the lead ships. His plane received is share of attention, however, and was so shot-u- p that it was grounded on its return. He tells of 0 an that settled down several hundred yards to the rear and kept up a constant fire on them. He says the boys back at the base wouldn't believe it, but the fighter stayed there, following steadily and shooting. He said it was very annoying. In his position as ball turret gunner, he and the tail gunner and the top turret all shot at it, but couldn't seem to hit it, and it finally flew away.
