Transports are not combat aircraft. We led the combat units of the 9th on
that
morning. If you live near Stansted airport, see the plaque dedicated to
the
344th that states that we led the charge for the 9th that morning.
Stansted
airport was built for the 344th. Thy cleared and leveled a cowpasture,
threw
down a runway put up a load of Neissen huts and we had an instant
airfield.
