Frost, John, Jr.
Frost has crossed out the Williams Field address on his stationery, having graduated from school there. He is in Combat Crew Training School as a co-pilot for the B-17 "Flying Fortress." It is hard to get used to "getting up and walking around in an airplane." Jack Hayes is there as well. After training he expects to leave for "points east," he hopes Japan. Frost was declared missing in action on August 26, 1943 over Italy.
