Went up for 2 hrs with Maj. Allen and took shots of a DB-7 which was in formation with us. Buzzed a few Hurricanes. Had a swell trip. Wilson was in the back with me and he got sick and messed the ship up a little. Mad the weather shots with Grubel. Talked with Maj. Allen and then later heard about the crash. He was fooling with the Hurricane and side swiped in midair. The RCAF pilot bailed out but the A-20 crashed with all 4 men aboard. Went through the brush for a mile to the crash. Only parts of the bodies could be found. Both motors were in the bay out of sight. I liked Maj. Allen but I'm so used to this thing that it just another thing in life. Russ almost got sick over the scene. The army has made me to hard I haven't any emotions anymore.
