Mark's POV
I've been in England with a couple of my Buddies for awhile. We had our P-51 Mustangs* on standby waiting on the orders of Eisenhower*. Me and my buddies are just resting, wondering when we will get called.
"Hey Mark!" I hear Blue Jay call. We call him that since he was from Toronto, Canada. He said he always liked the baseball team, and flying. Just like that, he was Blue Jay. His real name is Matthew, Matt for short.
"What's up Blue Jay?"
"When do you think Eisenhower is going to call?"
"Don't know. He has to have weather good enough for the bombers and for the beach landers. Probably not tomorrow though, its supposed to be cloudy."
"But there are also high tides. He was looking for that too."
"Don't know. Its not my call."
I got two others in my Squadron. Sheriff and Shiny. Sheriff's real name is Devin and he's called Sheriff because before joining our squad he was with the RAF* then moved. In the RAF he got 12 kills and we said he "Rounds up those bandits*." And Shiny's real name is Tucker and he's called Shiny since he's new here. He has no fighting time yet. We were woken up early morning by a Bomber crew saying that Stagg* and Eisenhower are going through with the plan
