Sunday Morning June 3, 1945 Dear Dave; Just a short note to let you know I have had another change of address and still training. This school is single engine advanced and so far it is the roughest place I have hit so far. They really want you to fly here not just play around. I have been here a little over a week now and already I don't like it. We are still flying the A.T.-6. But there is a P-40 class starting in the middle of July and we have very high hopes of staying in long enough and getting in the P-40s besides being a single engine advanced school. This is also a P-40 & P-38 and B-25 transition base. We all hope upon graduation to be fighter pilots but will probably end up as copilots of a B-29. This is the first base that I have been on where the standards are really up to pre-war day. They have more pilots than they know what to do with and so they are pretty choosey who they let through. With plenty of luck and
