Ed Cunningham and Sketches by Jack Coggins

“…Even The Birds Walk” – The Thunderbolts were on a routine mission that December morning, until they made a far-from-routine discovery. Then came the fogs, but the pilots kept groping through them and strafing the Germans, who, the Colonel said, had nothing but service troops, cooks, and bakers between them and the English Channel. And the column heading west from Stavelot finally had to change its direction. By Sgt. Bill Davidson with Artwork by John Scott

Naples Today – Freed from the physical dangers of war, the city buckles down to work at its great port and fights against inflation without losing its gaiety. By Sgt. August Loeb with Photos by Sgt. George Aarons
