Description

"Things are going to slow up a little with the approach of winter," Cozens says, citing rain all day and the night before. He has flown 15 missions and has 10 to go before he will be relieved of combat. One raid was on North Africa. He brags about his group's bombardier and his accuracy. He received another Oak Leaf Cluster to go with his previous two, as well as an Air Medal. One cluster was "for that deal over Kiel [Germany] last June."
