This episode continues Stanley's "Dearest Ones," the letters he wrote to his family throughout the Second World War.  It's mid-October 1944 as he reaches his bomb group at A-72, north of Paris.   The Germans occupied the air field weeks before The Silver King's arrival.  He's in the Ninth Air Force, assigned to the 397th Bombardment Group, 597th Bombardment Squadron. His bags haven't arrived but there's plenty of champagne and he reports that his crew, "Festi's Boys," will remain together as they fly from A-72.
