$80.00

four letters mailed by a pilot in training from his Army Bombardier School to his girlfriend at Tiffany Foundation in Oyster Bay, New York

they are postmarked April and May of 1943

nine pages of writing total (pages are written back to back on most)

they read in part:

I worry about you - the fear of your not recognizing enemy fighters if they ever reach these shores ... I bought two fifth\'s of Haig & Haig and drank them both myself. I couldn\'t tear around with the boys ... I don\'t think I told you of one classmate who crashed and burned to death that very afternoon his parents came to visit him. .... After reading your trite remark about you being a bad choice I could have spanked hell out of you ... Half the Air Corp generals pulled in here yesterday in B-24\'s and I strongly suspect that F.D.R. will be here this afternoon .... etc.
