"Did good work in this Pool [2FPP]"

Did 87 hrs ferrying on 16 different Class I and II aircraft.

He and Horace Heising were actually reported "killed in combat with Nazi attackers over London" in October 1940, but he sent a couple of cablegrams to his wife and mother (Mrs T W Christie) saying "I am all right. Letter follows. Hoping to see you Christmas."

On his return to the US, her discounted the effectiveness of anti-aircraft fire. "If they get to shooting at your level, you just move up and wait until they find your new range." [Mind you, as he flew only over the Atlantic and the UK, I'm not sure how he knew this, unless he was referring to the British AA fire.]

Transferred to AtFero 13 Jan 1941

 Sailed from Batavia to New York with Horace Heising in Feb 1942.
