th
June 20 1944: On the mission of the 20 , S/Sgt. Sylvain S.
Parisy, Tail Gunner on ship #2116 was quite severely wounded by a
piece of flak which struck his hip and ranged upward toward his
spine. He is in the hospital recuperating. His is the only wound
received by personnel from this squadron during the month’s
operational flying. All personnel seem to have their fingers
crossed in hope of keeping up with the good luck for the
remaining seven days of the month. So far, there have been no
ships shot down during the month. However, ship #7625 was so
badly disabled by the enemy that it is doubtful if it ever takes
part in another mission.
Two new crews reported for a tour of operational duty. Individual
names as follows: Pilot, 2/Lt. Edward M. Corman; Copilot 2/Lt.
Armand W. Pothier; Navigator, 2/Lt. Harry E. Law; Bombardier,
