RAF Ace AP Feature Sixth Day Raid Diary 1940
The diary entry recounts a sixth day of big London raids with RAF losses, hospital deaths, and downed aircrew. The writer and companion visit Maidstone Hospital, reflect on taxiing to tunnels, bombs raining on South London and gasworks, and celebratory pub relief amid near-destruction. They describe nightly patrols, evasive maneuvers, and multiple days of cloud flying, with attacks by Heinkel 111s and Messerschmitts. The narrative blends cockpit action, comical banter, and the constant threat of bombing while noting the endurance of the squadron and shared camaraderie.

WE, THE WOMEN A Censor in Your Home
The piece argues that a censor is not the spouse but the partner who tries to dominate. It lists ten questions about behavior that reveal censoring tendencies, such as correcting stories, warning a partner about conversation, and defending etiquette. If more than two answers are yes, a censor exists in the home, not the marriage partner.
