Ro^rt Lewellyn In Germany Thanks Home Friendly Club Dear Friends: Now that I am finally stationed at a base where I will be for quite some time, I thought it was about time I wrote to you a long due letter. I am now stationed at Erding Air Force Base, Erding, Germany. I left The States the 23rd of Jan. and landed at Bermehaven, Ger many, the 1st of Feb. and we sure had a rough trip. It was about the time they were having floods over here and the ocean was really rough. From Bermehaven I rode a troon train to Erding. It Avas about 550 miles from Ber mahaven to Erding, and the trip tooV us about 25 hours. Erding is just a small air base, but plays a big part in the aw defence of Europe. There are planes coming in and going out of here all hours of the d^v. There are only about 5,000 Air Forc' personnel here on the base, but we have over 4.000 German per sonnel working here, also. The thing I li’-e mod about the base here is tha+ we don’t, have to null anv K. P. We have German civilians do:ng that for us. Another thing T like about it is T onlv work 4 hours a day. but it has its bad points, too. Frding is onlv 92 miles from Fussian territory.
