Barbers Point NAS

Early morning bombing hop over Molokai. Got a batch of mail and letters today. First in weeks.

Bob Edgar turned up late yesterday as the new squadron Combat Air Intelligence Officer. He’s a damn nice fellow, a j.g., from the Air Intell. training school in Washington DC. I suppose that he’ll take over my department completely in time, as actual combat work won’t give me enough time to do it justice.

Into town for the rest of the day off.
