3 U.S. Naval Air Station PENSACOLA, FLORIDA also, that the poor Italians made another costly mistake along this line last year. Their aviators reports a British convoy moving though the "Italian Lake" protected by only three or four destroyers. When part of the Italian fleet came out anticipating destroyers they found cruisers and consequently suffered heavy losses themselves. It must be awfully hard to tell when you are 15 or 20,000 feet up, at that. Thanks for the clippings, mother. I enjoyed them as always. Truly, it is a crime the way the Omaha school system is being sabotaged. What a condemnation of the judgment of the people in that community. I hope for goodness sake that they levy passes this time.
