[Milsurplus] Dave's ATC Excellent Adventure

[Hue Miller]

Dave, after that ATC opus (way too mechanical for me) I look forward to 
reading you
on the ARB+ATB.

BTW, saw this little tidbit: Nat'l Geographic, June 1941:

"Pride of the Navy air force is the great patrol bombers....these planes can 
range 2000
miles out to sea from their patrol bases and stay in the air 30 hours or 
more....
Life can be quite comfortable for the six or eight men on these big ships. 
They have
room to move about, bunks to sleep in, and an electric stove.
'There's usually a mild feud between the radio operator and cook,' said an 
officer.
'The stove won't work when the radio's running at full power, and it always 
seems
as if there's an important message to be sent just before mealtime!'
....'Doesn't the  noise interfere with your sleep?' 'Not a bit! We get so we 
don't wake up
unless the engines stop.' "
