GROTTAGLIE AIRDROME, ITALY - Friday, July 30, 1943.
Mission #37.
Briefing at 0645 this morning, and then on to Italy. This is my longest mission to date - in the Italian heel - on the Golfo Di Taranto. Fair weather on the way out and back. We hit the airdrome, and did a fine job, with twelve 500’s - 6,000#.
(Total bomb weight to-date = 172,240 pounds.)
We flew very close to Taranto, and I could see part of the Italian fleet. I didn’t see any enemy fighters or flak! On our return to North Africa, some planes ran low on gas, and stooped at Mateur for refueling. We came all the way in. Mission time ;- 0825.
