And height finder off so when we fire we’ll be firing at the tin foil instead of the Jerry planes.  Saw a plain drop from the sky about 12 noon, today, he dropped from a very great height, smoking all the way down.  What a sight.  No one knows yet what kind of a plain it was.
Note: He spelled ‘Plane’ incorrectly - Plain.

Feb. 7
Jerry threw over 4 shells & 2 duds around our area at 1 A.M. this morning.  The closest shell was about 25 to 30 feet away.  To close for comfort.  Stayed up from 3:30 to 7 A.M. cause they or everyone expected a tank attack.
