June 19, 1942 Dear Dad & Mom: Well the time is passing uneventfully I am as brave as an indiana from drilling under this old Texas sun. It stays very warm down here wish it could distribute the weather a little & warm it up good in Iowa. This phase at school is rather monotonous it is pulling inspections on the plane checking it for minor defects such as loose bolts [illegible] etc. We had a good time yesterday took all the metal cantering off one side of the fuselage (body) of the plane and put all new walkways on the wing where you walk up to get in the cockpit I like it fine when there is something practical like that to do. The other day I sewed the leather binging around the cockpit it had been pulled loose somehow or other. I am afraid the final test is going to be very hard because we have no review and it goes way back to the beginning those five day phases are to be a real handicap. We still have no definite idea where we will go after the fourth if I'm lucky enough to graduate. There are lots of rumors but it is just a guess. It will be in
