WWI

Written by a soldier with the Army Air Forces. He was at A.A.F. Bombardier School at San Angelo, Texas when he wrote the letter in April 1943. From the letter……..I went to church yesterday the same as usual and am sending another program. My tactical officer and his wife were in church and I got a fellow from Virginia to go with me. I am glad for your sake that I’m not going to fly and now that I have thought it over it really didn’t make so much difference after all. Some of the fellows who washed out before I did are leaving today for Wichita Fall, Texas. I have been talking to a fellow from conn. Who was at Sioux Falls and he said my best bet was to go to radio school now that I had a little of it. I haven’t quite mad up my mind but if I could go to Sioux Falls I wouldn’t be too badly off and would have a 5 month course ahead of me while if I stay down here its hard to tell what they would put me in, because you never can tell what the army is going to do……..I also could have had a 10 day furlough but was restricted to 500 miles and so I didn’t dare to try and make it home……Because I can‘t fly I might get a good job on the ground if I went to radio school but I am so mixed up I don‘t know what I do want to do…… I have about 10 letters to answer but I hope to catch up on them as soon as I can......
