Scope and content

Sir Lawrence discusses a letter and Christmas card sent to his mother by his flight sergeant as a thank you for socks sent over.

He describes his morning spent doing mixed patrol and photography, during which time his propellor broke and he was confronted by German planes known as ""two tails"". He remarks on firing rounds at the German planes, and they fly off in a 'most extrodinairy case of German lack of enterprise'. He includes detailed drawings and annotations of the ""two tail"" planes.
