Cloudy First formation not held. Martin sick after the party with Jerry Sumner & Bugs the night before.

Lose my formation and hook on to Raymond Clapp and another quick trip to Vierzon Bourges & back Diamond formation is rather difficult Heard that a lot of 139 & Ordway have been sent back to Main field from Spirals Field #5. I don't believe Freddie minds not flying a scout. In p.m. have formation with [[strikethrough]] Martin [[/strikethrough]] Hill Sewers Phelan & then Martin Hill Phelan and Sewers. Hoover back from formation last Tuesday with Hunt. Hunt crashed at Lignières
