Dec 28, 1942
…I spent one of the most interesting times of my life on Christmas day. You see, I went up on my first plane hop. It was terrific. Tell Junior that he should look for a picture of a PBY, and he will see what kind of plane I was up in. I was up all all afternoon on Christmas day, and was supposed to go up again Sunday, but when I went down to the docks, it was too windy, and a storm was coming up, so all the planes were called back to the base and secured for the day. Now I have to wait until next Sunday before I can go up again, but it’ll be worth it ‘cause then I’m going up in a real fast job. A 2-seater scout bomber…I’ve learned  quite a bit since I’ve been here. I’m taking 8 words a minute in code..also learned how to take a machine gun apart…a little about the .45 pistol…after I finish school here , I’m going to gunnery school, after that you are assigned to a squadron…I hope they don’t put me in a PBY though, ‘cause they’re too slow…Tomorrow a bunch of Free French are moving into a section of our barracks..I’ve also taken up roller skating since I’ve been here…

Naval Air Station Cecil Field

The base got its start in June 1941 as an outlying field of NAS Jacksonville, and operations were accelerated just 11 days after the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor. Carrier-based fighter (VF) and scout bombing (VSB) units of Advanced Carrier Group, Atlantic arrived at Cecil Field in late 1942 to commence replacement pilot combat training and Cecil Field was commissioned as a Naval Auxiliary Air Station (NAAS) in February 1943.

In March 1943, the fighter training unit moved to nearby Naval Auxiliary Air Station Lee Field in Green Cove Springs, and NAAS Cecil Field became the principal war-at-sea and dive-bombing training center for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. From 1943 until the war ended, NAAS Cecil Field was a pilot's last stop before assignment to combat in either the Atlantic Fleet or Pacific Fleet. It operated at full capacity during the war years and after the war.
