COMMENTS:

"Milk Run". No flak, no fighters. Yesterday's mission was a complete screw-up. Could have been like today's.
Tudbury's shop 257 and the Repulsive Raider out for a hundred hour inspection. Emergency heading from Target areas; 55 degrees and 70 knots to Geneva Switzerland. BERN HBV 322 kc. GENEVA HBW 333 kc. SURICH HBZ 355 kc.
Given four hours combat time for May 7, 1944, the day Tex Hinson was killed. Therefore our total combat hours are 70:45.
