Now come night time this building was cold and damp and we only had one blanket each and had to sleep on cold springs. Well that night, John Egan came up to me and said" Buck, I think there are some strange things going on in this camp", to which I replied he was crazy. Later that night, John was sleeping on the lower bunk and I was on the upper bunk, both freezing our butts off on metal springs and one blanket and John says to me, "Buck, can I climb up into your bunk to keep warm and my reply was "John, I think there are strange things going on in this camp!"

felt compelled to illustrate this paragraph i found on a history website

#op i love you so much for drawing this!!!!!#what if there were two bunks.....BUT it was really fucking cold?#art #history #john egan #gale cleven

"There was a legend, though, that the 100th was the object of a German vendetta...an alternative, more likely, explanation is that the 100th Bomb Group deployed to England filled with instructor pilots. They refused to believe anyone could teach them anything. Long on individualism, short on firm leadership, they flew ragged formations, and when they drew the low spot they paid the price."

-Geoffrey Perret, Winged Victory: The Army Air Forces in World War Two, p. 275
