Flynn writes on Japanese Navy stationery "picked up by us in the invasion of Kiska, which turned out to be a fizzle, but I can't say I was sorry." (The Japanese evacuated the island before the invasion.) He saw a couple of men from San Diego State College, one of whom gave him a copy of the Aztec News Letter, which he asks to receive. "Everything you have read about the weather is true," he says, citing a 105-mile wind when they came into port. Lauren C.
