Description

Ferazzi writes on a pre-printed postcard from the Army Air Forces Advanced Flying School. He is shocked by the news of the death of Milton Phelps, having just been discussing him with Alan Huffman. He mentions dropping bombs. On graduation he hopes he will be transferred to Westover Field, Chicopee, Massachusetts. Signing "Gabe," he sends Thanksgiving greetings to all.
