didn’t appreciate bis humor Thirty minutes later I was shaking hands with the crew members of our big bomber There were the bombardier navigator and four other gunners From 'Old Kentucky’ One of the gunners inquired: When "Where you from Sarge?” I replied ’’Kentucky" the diminutive wiry bombardier shoved his hand out and said: ’’Boy give me That’s where I’m from too five Louisville's my home" And

cellent pilot and that he would bring us back safely "But what about the Jap I asked “Well” shot back Lieutenant Crume "There’s not much Jerry can do about that We can only hope the Japs don’t get us in their searchlights tonight” In 45 minutes we were to take off Speaking to me Lieutenant Crume said: "Bolser we have a fine group of boy in our outfit They’re regular guys And you can see how they feel about this thing There are only two things they give a damn about now One is bombing hell out of the Japs and the other is getting the war over as quickly as possible” Jerry addressed the group

leave the metal strips on the field and rise into the darkness over Henderson Field We gained altitude Soon we were heading toward our target Out over the water I was told to go aft to my station I examined my machine gun (The marine corps public relations section of which I am a member was trained in aerial gunnery before leaving the States) Then I fixed the communications set on my head and plugged In for a Jerry at the controls was test singing I looked at my watch We still had a lot of flying ahead of us Turn on Oxygen At 12000 feet Jerry called over the ’phone suggesting that we start uI welcomed the word sing oxygen for I was beginning to feel groggy from lack of heavy air I also felt the bite of the cold at that height and wriifgled into the suit leather "Bolser” Lieutenant Crume called over the ’phone "just wanted to let jrou know that when I say ‘bombs away’ you might take a look down and see how my eye is tonight Jerry will bank just after I let ’em go and you should get a pretty good look" Thirty minutes away from the target Jerry called back to prepare the waist guns The other waist gunner and I opened the windows I fed the ammunition belt into the gun and charged it It was ready for action as I poked It through the window The temperature at our height was so cold that my fingers were stiff by thefew time I had adjusted my gun A seconds later I got the scare To the right of the of my life plane a baU of fire burst At the same time came Jerry’s voice: "We’re just about over the target" I caught myself shying away as a second burst of fire came nearer our
