This was his fighter group that was based at East Wretham near Thetford, England. My father was on one page with a photo. The incident described was on December 23, 1944. He flew a P-51 Mustang with the name Beachcomber (Our hometown is a beach place in NJ).
I am listening to Mary Trump's Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man. Audio books are not my favorite means of reading, but I have an account this year and had 5 credits. I can buy 4 more and quit. I'm about halfway through. The author is the reader.

I finished
Too Much and Never Enough this morning. I have a better feeling about listening to audio books now and may keep my subscription up. I still prefer kindle books though. I don't think that political talk is permitted here, so I won't say much. She clarified what I already knew and now I have no tolerance for all of his complicit aides, cabinet, senators and voters. Earllier today he read from the teleprompter and pronounced Thailand "Thighland." Two days ago it was "Yo Smite" instead of Yosemite. OK, that's all for now and feel free to delete my post if it is "inappropriate" for its political content.
Not sure, but I think my next read (to start in an hour or so) will be Lawrence Wright's pandemic novel,
The End of October.
