Day In History
Summary
of Events for No.
439 (CAN) Squadron
as
recorded in the 439 Squadron Operations Record Book
for
14
August 1944
R.C.A.F.
Lantheuil, France
Heavy
ground haze this morning. Scattered cloud all morning, improving
in the early afternoon, increasing in density later on,
accompanied by a stiff breeze. No operations were carried out by
our Squadron, but the pilots were on sixty minutes readiness all
day. F/L Ken Scharff and F/O Ray Brown pushed off this morning
to bring back a couple more
"Typhies".
The pipeline at the runway burst this morning making it
unserviceable for
"ops",
for a short while. Another impediment to
"ops"
was apparently not knowing the true positions of the Army, but
this situation should be alleviated tomorrow.
Two
new pilots were posted to our Squadron today, F/O J. Roberts
J27349 and F/O J.G. Fraser J36722. Jerry is a bit audacious
sending a few aircraft over which crossed over and near our
dispersal at 2230 hrs. and again at 2359 hrs., but he was not diplomatically
received by the flak boys who tossed up proper hell. F/O Harrison,
the Squadron Adjutant, celebrated his fifth year in the service
today by staying in the seat of industry and writing up the
diaries.
