Tuesday
Went out to the ship and loaded some bombs for practice.1 When we move out of here, we may have to do our own work for a while. Tough, but such is war in the Pacific. Replaced turret dome in airplane and fixed spring on ammunition roller arm in the turret.
Wrote in book and letter to Bonnie in the afternoon. Typed book so far in Intelligence building. Heard song “I Love You”, Bonnie’s favorite. It is beautiful and I love it too.

I find your posts perfect. No need to add pictures as I suggested. People can read the notes and links provided and do their own research if they want.
About my B-25H model kit I build.
Looks like this one.
