An Eighth AAF Bomber Station England: Life in the combat intelligence section of this Eighth Air Force Flying Fortress base is never monotonous for Pvt. First Class Harry W Darlington of Alexandria Ky.
In one day he may pin up on the briefing room map the route to be followed by the Forts on an aerial bombardment of targets in Germany and Nazi occupied Europe, then check out some of the secret supplies to the combat crews just before they take off to blast Hitler's war machine and later assist in tabulating results of the attack. In his spare time he drives the group intelligence officers jeep.
Pfc. Darlington says he likes the work because it is so varied and it brings him in close contact with operations against the enemy. Because they are necessarily acquainted with secret details of operations in advance of the missions to be flown, men in the combat intelligence section are carefully selected before being given the assignment. Security not talking about their work, is one of the characteristics of those in the section.
"Pfc. Darling is doing the tasks assigned to him efficiently and reliably" said Capt. Waldo E Hardell of Minneapolis Minn. group intelligence officer. The AAF intelligence section worker is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Darlington, Route 1, Alexandria. He has been overseas eight months.
