Description

Typewritten description of Benghazi camp and briefing for upcoming missions: "It sorta gives you a funny feeling watching the planes take off with 2,000 lb bombs and circling over the field to get in formation when you know some may not come back . . . But when you count all 18 of the ships landing that evening you feel like a human again." Four photographs of airplanes including one wrecked plane and two crew members sitting on bombs.
