Lincoln, Nebraska - Swung compass for second time and then got everything ready to go. Gas in bomb bay tanks, loaded. and checked all equipment and baggage (Gave Les' home of St. Joseph, Mo. a buzz on July 1 on the first compass swing). Briefed at 2230, got our pistols and ammunition, then went to the ship and took off at exactly midnight for either Bangor, Maine or Grenier Field at Manchester, N. H. The route generally was over Omaha, Des Moines, Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Erie, Syracuse, Rochester, Utica, and Albany to Grenier. Here they first told us to land and then as we started to call in for landing instructions, they said to go on to Bangor. The trip lasted 9 hours and we flew radio beams, the radio compass and light beams all the way flying at 7,000 ft. It was a pretty nice field , good food, barracks and beer. York and Johnson got skin-tight haircuts, and the C.O. (a Colonel) said "No more like that!"
