308^th Fighter Squadron Operations Tent

(Probably Lt. Richard Hurd & Lt. Bill Skinner in center.)

"...squadron operations was housed in a pyramidal tent that was too small.Not only did pilots meet there before and after missions; the tent housed the aircraft status board, a typewriter, flight records, claims the whole administrative apparatus.The operations officer and two clerks worked there."
