You and Damned Yankees have been assigned to the 79th Bombardment Squadron under the command of Major Wilbur Robinson, rather then the 80th. I know you were hoping you'd be flying with the 80th, but the 79th is short a couple of bombers at the moment. Mission 26 to Mostar is currently available for you to fly with AARs (After Action Reports) due no later than 3 August. Group and Squadron CommandPosition
