The Raid on Cologne (Part 3 of 3)

I hitched a ride back to our own squadron, me and the crew the next day and a couple days after my adjutant calls me up and he said, “Sellen, would you come up to the room please? ” And so I went up to his room and I thought, “Well, what have I done wrong now, you know, I haven’t had an air plane for a week.” Anyway, so I didn’t see why he was calling me in but anyway I went in there and he said, “I got something here for you Sellen,” he said and he pulled open a drawer and he pulls out this incendiary bomb that the crew where we landed, the ground crew, they had found this incendiary bomb in my big gas tank and they sent it up to me for a souvenir and, you know, I got that thing yet.
