Left this morning after breakfast for London. Took the film in I shot over Beaumont-la-Ronce, France and got my flying time straightened out. Was there until 4:00 & then started back. As usual got lost & was 1 hour hour getting out of London. Got back to the field at 7:15 and ate and then went to Public Relations office to give them the dope on Ronnie’s birthday party. They are going to publish it in the L.A. papers. Made the kids a warrant last nite & did not get to bed until midnite.
