The principal changes in the Intelligence Section during November were the result of the Group's transfer to another Combat Wing. The 92nd Combat Wing, of which the 486th Group has been a part since our arrival in the European Theatre of Operations, was terminated during the month and we were transferred to the 4th Wing. Major Ollie Davis, A-2 of the 92nd Wing, was transferred to a similar position in the 13th Wing. The A-2 of our new Wing is Major E.C. Leonard who paid us a visit immediately after the transfer. We were pleased to find that, Captain G.T. Brown, who spent a very pleasant week with us last summer, is also in the Intelligence Section at 4th Wing Headquarters. With the end of the 92nd Wing, Captain Crabill returned to duty with us and with him came Lieutenant Arnold Schmidt and two clerks. We sent another clerk to 4th Wing, but the accessions made it possible to establish four briefing teams, a thing we had wanted to do for a long time. Now a man is not subject to an all night session oftener than every fourth night. The Group has not flown many missions in November but a number of missions were briefed and scrubbed before takeoff. When the 92nd Wing came to an end, the former Wing War Room was made available for use as a Crew Library. It is a larger room and has the added advantage of some small rooms nearby for the use of Public Relations. So, only about a

month after the original Crew Library was opened, the furniture and exhibits were moved to the new location and a new set of maps and decorations put up. We now realize that it was very convenient to have Wing Headquarters on the same Base with us. It was the custom for Wing A-2 to give us the target as soon as they received it, instead of our having to wait until it came through on the teletype. In cases where there was a limited amount of time between the warning order and briefing it was a great advantage to have the target earlier. The briefing officers could study the target, the flak maps could be got out, and the duty bombardier and navigator could start their preparation. On November 7, Lieutenant Santaniello was transferred to other duties on the field and Lieutenant Russell assumed charge of the briefing block in addition to his other duties. The following promotions were made in this Section during November:

Reuben M. Morriss, Jr.	to	Major
Hugh L. Malone	to	Captain
Andrew Russell, Jr.	to	Captain
Richard P. Wollenberg	to	1st Lieutenant
