...France, in the form of Marauder and Spitfire attacks on airfields at Tricque-ville and St. André-de-1'Eure. This sucked fighters away from the Lowlands in time for 550 Fortresses and Liberators-the largest U.S. heavy bomber force ever used-to cut for Wilhelm shaven with upwards of 1,200 tons of bombs. With that huge force were U.S. fighter types which made the escort possible-450 Thunderbolts and long-range Lightnings, all carrying belly tanks.

Middle-sized and homely, he has pale blue-grey eyes behind rimless glasses, and a mustache which (though he boasts "I haven't had a clean-shaven upper lip in 15 years") is invisible in a poor light. He is cautious with his talk, and likes to take several puffs at his straight-stemmed briar pipe before answering a question. His friends joke that "Harold has only one speed: low gear." He works hard at his job, including most evenings, and has very little time for fun. When...

He was observed to be a muscular man with a head which seemed to have been carved from pink glass, to be so short that the handkerchief in Sumner Welles's pocket showed above his clean-shaven crown.
