HEADQUARTERS
V BOMBER COMMAND
APO 713, Unit #1
9 May 1944
TO: All personnel of the 90th Bombardment Group,
APO 713, Unit #1
According to newspaper and magazine stories, people
don’t know whether the Fifth Air Force is part of the
“Jolly Rogers Air Force,” or the “Jolly Rogers” part of
the Fifth Air Force. Seriously, I’m proud of your
bombing record -- as proud as you yourselves are.
When bigger and better bombs are dropped on bigger
and better targets…. the “Jolly Rogers” will drop ‘em.
J.V. CRABB
Colonel, Air Corps,
Commanding.
