**April 5th 1942: ** 
 
 I am so excited to finally be in England. I had no idea that the ship would take that long. I am just thankful that our crew were able to get to our airfield and be assigned to our plane. Lt Caulfield has decided to call our plane `` Lucky Lucy,'' we even painted a naked girl on the side of the plane. I have only been here for a day, met the First Sergeant and all, he seems nice; he always said that if we need help, he's there for us. I wish I could go into London, it seems so close but the First Sergeant says its off limits until its safe. This place seems so amazing, I ca n't wait to fly and see the whole world from my turret!

 Tomorrow is the fiftieth. Finally, fifty fucking missions and I get out of the cloudy shit hole. `` Lucky Lucy'' my ass, she's lucky because she gets plugged every fucking other day. My damned turret jammed on me again yesterday, I swear if Griggs does n't fix it, I'm going to throw him out over Germany myself. We hit Bremen again, I swear the wing king has a crush on fucked planes, crews and flak. Caulfield was killed yesterday, they gave us some green fucker fresh out of flight school; pompous little fuck. Whatever, tomorrow is my last flight and I can go the fuck home. Next time I pen this thing, I should be pitching everything in a duffel.
