MFR: CAPT Robert Shea (S-1) March 4, 1944
S/SGT Irvin "Field" Marshall is returned to the spare crew pool. I commend him for his airmanship during the 3 missions he flew with the Bama Beauty as our flight engineer and his gunner skills. He has received shared credit for multiple kills from the review board while serving with the Bama Beauty. He has now completed 8 missions total and has credit for 5.25 total kills reaching ace gunner status. I recommend him for the DFC for this achievement.
V/R 1LT George McQuinn, Pilot Commanding B-24J Bama Beauty 78th BS, 509th BG (H), 15th AF

Sir, I just returned from the base hospital where I was told that SGT Eric Schmidt will be grounded and off flight status for about a month, as he convalesces from his wounding yesterday. Request that SGT Julian Graves be assigned to The Schmoo until approximately 8 April.
