LeMay, a visitor to your base reported that every man in the outfit hated old Iron Pants with a vengeance. A few weeks later after the 305th Group had flown a dozen missions without loss of a single B-17, the visitor returned and discovered you had suddenly become the most popular commander in the United Kingdom.
