One puzzle that I cannot resolve took place
on either 2 or 3 December 1944.

*******************

Movement Orders for the Newell crew were issued
at Herington AAF, Kansas, on 2 December 1944.

The crew was assigned B-29 Serial Number 42-63493 and
was to fly to Mather AAF, Sacramento, California.

Lt Sisson's IFR states that on this date they were
transferred to Morrisson Field, Florida,
and remained there until 14 December 1944.
