This episode begins The Silver King's letters, "Dearest Ones," from Barksdale Army Air Base in Shreveport, Louisiana. It's after D-Day (June 6) and the start of a deep, humid 1944 summer. Stanley's Air Corps dream assignment is about to begin. He and his guys have heard that the B-26 is a hot ride. Now The King, after a surprising and pleasant fifteen-day leave, will develop his skills as a Marauder Man bombardier.
