     ON THE 20TH OF MARCH, TURMOIL SQUADRON, IN WHICH I WAS FLYING

RED 3 POSITION, ATTACKED AN ENEMY AIRFIELD NEAR PADERBORN. I OVER-

SHOT WITH MY BOMBS AND MADE SEVEN STRAFING PASSES. I CONCENTRATED

THREE PASSES ON ONE JU-88 TRYING TO SET IT AFIRE. IT DID NOT BURN

BUT I OBSERVED ENOUGH STRIKES TO CLAIM IT DESTROYED. I THEN STRAFED

SEVERAL OTHER PLANES, 109'S AND 190'S, CLAIMING THREE DAMAGED.
