AAF Sta F-131, APO 637, U.S. Army 14 November 1943

STATEMENT

After leaving the target at Bremen, Germany, I saw Lt. Beall off my left wing. Both engines were operating and he was not in any visible trouble. My visibility was greatly hampered and I lost sight of his ship after a very brief period of time.
