EDITOR’s NOTE: Yesterday’s letter (Nov. 9, 1943) from Winfred to the Folks was written in the afternoon after Winfred’s BIG SCARE! that morning. There is no mention of the near-death experience.
Nov. 10, 1943 0810 WM March Field, CA THE BIG SCARE!
Winfred writes to Margaret about his BIG SCARE! He begins by complaining on not getting his ratings yet but will hold off on applying for Cadets. He then goes into great detail about how he nearly fell out of the plane at 12,000 ft yesterday and tells her not to tell anyone!
