This handwritten letter offers a personal glimpse into life at a WWII Army Air Forces training base. Believed to be written by or to a B-24 Liberator belly gunner in 1944, it describes the mundane realities of military life, including an unexpected barracks move that required hauling beds, bedding, and personal gear a quarter mile in the rain. Letters like this one humanize the training experience behind the statistics and equipment of the air war. Project: 218354
