Acknowledgement: Information from Norman Esh 

  On Nov. 26, 2001 Norman Esh was able to provide the following: After graduation was sent to Army Air Corps Training Command at a new bombardier training base at Carlsbad, New Mexico.  The base was not yet completed so he lived in an old C.C.C. camp north of the city. 
 
 
  From July 1986 issue of Crosshairs - page 20:
Now of Houston, TX, recalls having fun playing tennis with Jimmy Stewart, then a "G. I. pilot:.  On one occasion one of Jimmy's 'ace' serves caught his opponent in a critical part of the groin!  Stewart wasted no a moment letting forth with a loud "Shack!".

Upon graduation 26 Sep 1942, Bob was assigned to Carlsbad bombardier school as an instructor.  Prominent at the time was the absence of any Norden or Sperry bombsights at this school.  Accordingly, the instructors taught use of the D-8.
