Description
A letter from Lieutenant David B. Stevens, U.S. Army Air Force, to his wife Willa Stevens in Augusta, Georgia, during his World War II service abroad.

In 1944, Stevens was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Force Transport Command and spent the next two years flying B-25, C-46, C-54, and C-47 aircraft in the European, North African and China-Burma-India theaters of World War II operations.
