The EM day room was opened with a decided bang this evening. From all reports it was a colorful affair. A five piece orchestra was on hand as were five Eyetie girls. The girls were well chaperoned but nonetheless were in great demand. Colonels Gent and Fleischer were on hand. “Eyetie” beer brewed in Naples is now available. Mission today was a milk run according to the flyers. The attack was against the Port of Orbetello, Italy. Results were not too good. Major Cecil Petterson, Group surgeon, went on the mission but not by choice. He claims he was “shanghaied” by Major Tope who flew the ADO ship and suddenly decided to go on the mission.
