[303rd-Talk] Mess Halls

[Leroy Audrey]

Good for you Hal.
I see you were a real liking for  B. sprouts., too.
I wrote sometime ago one this site that we never missed a target; the drop
was one  of opportuity and they were the usually the nearby fields of  B.
sprouts, so we could starve the Krauts.

Hal: I have been looking thru my photos , I dont't have one of the lead crew
on Mission 337, 15 March 45 to Zossen with Col. Cole , Pilot???
If so I would really like to get a copy, if you can scan it off to this site
or to Gary and I could then download it.  Thanks.
Oh, and was it  athat on this mission we turned on the taartet and hit a
jet stream  that gave us an incrediably high ground speed which the
bombsight could not handle and we had to make a turn and approach the target
from a heading??
I was telling this to an 8th AF  weather observer  who served at planning
headqtrs.He said he remembered that report because they, at Hqtrs , had not
heard of such high winds aloft and were sure the navigators and bombaiers
had made a mistake in their calculations. I told him that in most cases
where navigators had made mistakes, they and their crews never made it
safely back to their bade.
