known to one another. However, time proved that a fine group of person- able and technically well-founded men had been assembled. During the present cruise C18 monthsj aircraft maintenance was car- ried on in spite of many odds-not without a strain -but it was carried on. The most consistent hazard was foul weather when, at times, the men had to work with one hand and hang on to the plane with the other. Frequent General Quarters interrupted the maintenance work while the men took time out to duck. However, in spite of everything, schedules were met and our squadrons did more than their share in the sinking of enemy shipping and availability to meet their schedule. During our entire period of operation 2075 patrols were made and only one patrol was missed due to maintenance difliculties. To offset this laxity, on a number of occasions we assisted other squadrons who did not have the availability to meet their schedule. The ollicers of the Air Department have been proud to serve with such an outstanding group of men. Good luck to you all! ! ,,,,.,g.,,-..osMawa1Lwf.s-aqqmnagg 1 1'
