When asked which he thought was his most important and exciting mission, he said, "I guess the one we thought was the most important was the February 24 attack against the Daimler-Puch factory at Steyr, Austria. The main reason was that if we could knock out the production at that factory it would mean that many less fighters we would have to face in the future. "The Jerrys threw plenty of flak up at us and it was so thick we could have almost walked across it.

Some of them were arrested in Fullerton, the balance being captured in Anaheim after being chased by the officers. They are being held in jail for juvenile authorities. The Jerrys threw plenty of flak up at us and it was so thick we could have almost walked across it. That and the heavy fighter protection the factory had, kept us all on the beam all of the time.

Besides the eight active troops, four new Brownie troops and one Girl Scout troop have been added this year.
