February 17, 1944

Tortorella, Italy

All the aircraft, that landed at POMIGLIANO the previous day, returned safely. No operations were carried out during the day.
After a period of four months, the order came through 3 (S.A.) Wing to move. A meeting of the heads of Sections was called and the Adjutant supplied all the “gen” as regards the move.
In order not to interfere with operations, all aircrews and ground crews essential for operations had to remain until the advance party had settled down at BIFERNO, the new camp.
Preparations were made for the advance party to leave early the following day.
