Extension to "A Sad Loss"
TheSmiter:
It was "She" magazine actually and the dashing co-jo was completely suckered by the siggies on the crew as follows. One of them had a sister in law who was Spanish. Got her to write gushing letter about how she'd been overwhelmed by what she'd read in the mag about his flying abilities and how handsome he was. He replied in equally gushing terms. The mail delivery was a bit circuitous but the results of the correspondence (which was extensive) all ended up back on the squadron where finally it was posted on the ops room notice board. Aren't young people cruel? I wonder where HE is now?
