Dear Folks:                                    4 July 45
            It is not quite so warm to-day. Rained this morning so no flying. A bunch of pilots just got out of the army on points. They are now short on instructors so they will probably make an instructor out of me until the shortage is made up. The planes are B-25. The individual crewmen come here and are put to-gether in crews. After some training to-gether they are sent overseas from here.
            The club on the field is nice. It is on a high point and overlooks the surrounding territory. It has a large open patio facing east and overlooks the flight line. The temperature has been going up above 90° and air is rather humid. The only man I know here is a friend of Horridge’s whom I met in Marrakech.                                    John
