Lt. Col. IRVINE returned to the squadron late this afternoon bringing the news that our first Baltimores are expected to leave the Union in about eight days time. All personnel will be looking forward to the arrival of these aircraft as most of us feel it's about time we began to do something in the present campaign in this part of the world.
Lt. Col. IRVINE is returning to the Union tomorrow to assist in the collection and ferrying of the Squadron’s aircraft to the Middle East.
