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.

No group of fliers since the Flying Tigers of China has ever emerged from the war with greater glory than the world famous Liberator unit . . . the JOLLY ROGERS. Month after month, since September, 1942, American newspapers and magazines have brimmed over with colorful stories about this most colorful of all B-24 outfits. Less celebrated Liberator units have complained that all these laurels fell to the JOLLY ROGERS because of their fascinating name and twin-tail insignia - a huge skull surmounting two crossed bombs.
