Barbers Point NAS

“Jeeter” Hare informed me that “Fuzzy” Fisler, J.O. Adams, and myself were ordered to appear at the Sub Base tomorrow morning for a medal presentation. What for, God alone knows.

Took out a bombing hop this afternoon but our target at the south and of Lanai was clouded over. Dropped down from 10,000 feet to sea level in a tight, screaming spiral and headed home.
