Feature Letter of June 30th, 2025
Gilroy, Wilbert H.
I have only had one nasty job all week. That was on Tues. last, I think. I had to take photos over same area as I did week before and I rather think, from the hearty reception I received, that they had been expecting me for some time. It was rather funny. I went over with another chap from another flight and his position were not far from mine. He was favored by having friendly clouds and got over and back, and got less than 20 shells (Archie) fired at him. I had a clear sky, comparatively, and as a result I got from 150 to 200 shells plugged at me. I had a few holes in my planes, one fragment from France, about half the size of a brick, made a neat hole, but altogether I got off lightly, as I had no controls shot away, and had no trouble getting home. The remainder of the week has been easy work, such as shoots and etc with no danger attached.
