The men of my photo squadron detachment do their shooting with cameras. Unarmed except for the probing eyes of their aerial cameras, the Grumman Cougars of VFP-6l, Detachment Juliett are piloted on high speed runs over enemy territory to bring back a photographic record of airfields, anti-aircraft installations, troop emplacements, and other im- portant facilities for analysis by air intelligence officers in planning future strikes by the attack arm of my Air Group. The five officers and twenty-five enlisted men of the VFP-61 detachment have posted an outstanding record for aircraft availability and informa- tion gathering efficiency.
