Captain Thomas, from Boyle, Miss t wrote tn squadron's story a abort tun ago in Algeria. By CAPT. ROWAN ttHOMAS L SOMEWHERE IN ALGERIA-)-There is no better way Jto conclude our story c world wide adventures than by citing the fact that it holds the record for seas without replacements.

'Only our superb maintenance men are responsible for the fact that we still have nine of our airplanes la commission. This ha been so even though for months there has been only one crew chief per airplane. Many times our men have run missions after loading the bombs themselves. It has been cooper ative spirit like this that has led to good service. : Our personnel strength Is greatly depleted now, largely through transfers, and there are scarcely 110 men left of the between 300 and 400 original ly comprising the unit ' Tlie mem of the sadrea hare won well over Set major decorations of honor Including 75 silver stars.
