Respectfully, Lt Sims, Next time you run off with one of my aircraft, prior to approval, I will not be responsible for the actions of M/Sgt Enriquez. These birds may have seen better days, but they are his queens, pun intended, and takes their handling very personal. V/R Capt Pierce p.s. Good job on the bomb run. p.p.s. Next time, your crew, and maybe your officers as well, will assist M/Sgt Enriquez and his crew make repairs. Beers will then be offered after the work. |

Capt. Pierce,
I am very sorry for what happened, but the time to take part in the mission and take off was very short.
I have already received the complaints of M/Sgt Enriquez to whom I promised that it will not happen again.
Sincerely,
1st Lt. William Sims

RE: B17 returned to replacement pool
B17F Lost Angel (100BO-42-30428) is returned to the group spare pool following completion of the 11 May 1944 bombing mission to Wiener--Neustadt, Austria (mission #30).
She has incurred significant battle damage (109 Peckham Pts). The most important damage appears to be to the tailplane, rudder, top turret, and waist compartment.
There is no apparent damage to the engines, electrical system, fuel system, hydraulics nor flight controls (beyond what has already been mentioned.)

Date: 15 May 44 (following Mission #31) To: Capt Bruno Pierce, S4 / 509 Bomber Group ChefEd , RE: B17F returned to group spare pool I was forced to land B17F Teasin' Time (60BO 42-29599) on the A20 airfield at Naples, Italy upon returning from Mission 31 (14 May 44). She developed a leaking fuel tank due to battle damage sustained over the target, and I surmised that insufficient fuel remained to make the airfield at Gulia.
Including the leaking fuel tank, Teasin' Time suffered moderate damage (43 Peckham Pts). She will be flown to Gulia following minimal repairs. The crew will be ferried to Gulia by cargo plane at earliest convenience.
