Got a new book out of the library, Marching Home by Kevin Coyne. In it
is a story about Bill Lopatin,radio operator on "We Dood It" with thw
322nd.
Seems to be a straight forward account of life in the Marauder over
Europe.
What say you Art?

outfit located just to the North of us.

Hi Art,
A couple of things;
They had a load of 8 300# bombs and he pulled the safety pins off
just before dropping them. 4 didn't release so he re installed the
pins and they returned to base with them. Is this correct?
Ha had almost completed his 50 missions but when D-Day came the
criteria changed to an indefinite number of missions. Also correct?

Regards
Ron
