56 the plane balanced. Should start formation any day now. Bob & I did some golf shots during athletic period. Can't understand why the folks don't send me my sticks as I have asked. Wednesday - May 6 Had my first formation hop today. Am flying with a boy by the name of Scott from Arkansas, and one, Hollows, from New Jersey. They are both quite good. I stunk during the instruction period, but got along pretty well on our solo effort. Received a notice from the R.R. Express Agency that my golf clubs had arrived. Hope I have time to use them now & again. Corregidor has fallen India is being menaced worse each day. It looks like a long summer. Trust the British wont have too much trouble with the French in Madagascar.
