Stiles continued to write, both highly personalized pieces for the London "Daily Mail", articles for "Yank" and "Air Force Magazine", and the manuscript for a book. He eventually flew twenty missions with Sam Newton's crew, and his manuscript was a journal-style memoir of his experiences with them. In mid-June 1944, he was separated from Newton's crew and out of combat for a month, and when he resumed flying, he completed his 35-mission combat tour for the 91st Bomb Group with a different crew.
