Lemoore Army fying School, Dear Doc:

Lemoore, Caiifernia,. _ Have been here at Lemoore four

weeks new and am still flying basic
trainers. I ge into a new deal where we get advanced trainers in basic.
So next week I']1 start in on the At 17, a twin engine trainer. These
babies seem to require more ceordination than I've got. They sure give
me a fit - but even so I'm still enthused about flying, I just finished
an instruments course and can see how tougn it would be to fly blind,

I heard from T.P, and he talked about spending Christmas in a fox hole,
Also heard from Bill Bradford who is over in England. Its good to hear
that Rey and Ralph get en cppertunity at 0.C.A, They really deserve it.

Chariey Black, our all ~Amerivan casaba tnrower, writes about T. P., Bill
Bradford, Ray Evans and. Ralph Miller, Charley, Ray and Ralph are still at
Scott Field, Ill., so far as we mow. T om not sure that they will be called
for 0.C.S. I know they will appreciate the nice things you say about them.

Regarding those AT 17 babies - I knew that you’ can handle then, You
hendled everything that you havo contacted up to now, so I om sure that you will
do a swell job with the twins. We are always delighted to hear from you aad we
hope that you will keep the letters coming when you have an. oppertwmity, but we
know how busy you are.
