4 look forward to a little home cooking. There is only one sour note in the whole setup, and that is Bob, who pulled in last night, won't have liberty at the same time I do. He dropped into the room just as I was starting to write a letter home. Have to confess that I was so glad to see him, and we had so much to talk over, that I postponed my letter until tonight. I have a little data on the F4F, our best carrier fighter, & the Jap 0 fighter which may be of some interest to you father. The F4F has a 1200 HP motor & weighs 8000 lbs which gives it a power loading of about 6.6. The zero fighter on the other hand weighs but 6000 lbs & has a 1200 HP engine, a power loading
