Alerted and awakened at 5:00 a.m. for mission to Munich Motor Works. Mission called off by red-red flare for reasons of weather. Came back home at 8:15 a.m. Had coffee again. Took off at 10:45 a.m. on a practice gunnery mission. I fired the waist gun a few rounds and then Fisher got me in the co-pilot's seat and he let me fly. No fooling. I flew for about 15 minutes. Gee, it sure is fun but strenuous. Received 6 letters and finally the packages today - long underwear, cookies, hankies, salami, writing paper, etc. What a whole bunch of stuff. Sure is dandy. Lisman boys are in France. Love ya, kiddo.
