THE BLUE EJECTION SEAT

TO

Harmon William Fischer

FOR

 Exceptional meritorious achievement as a generous, diligent supporter of the Bomb Squadron Renovation Team. Subject airman secured two old beat-up R-2800 engines many moons ago and as years roll on, is converting one of said engines, which, in time, will be a beautiful display model to be admired by visitors to the Eckelmann Building.

FURTHER

 Subject airman, while cutting a handsome, dashing figure in his late mode BMW Sportster, nonetheless buys tools and equipment at his own expense for the association and contributes in very generous fashion to the museum and library.


FURTHER

 Subject airman in previous years and times as a member of the Bomb Squadron shattered all existing turret aircrew gunnery records by scoring 110 hits out of a possible 100 and this has been exceedingly important in advising Colonel John Cordero in his duties as armament chief.


FURTHER

 As a self appointed head of the luncheon table, said airman does an outstanding job of deriding and heckling all serious minded speakers and consequently controls and cuts short all would-be budding eloquence.


FURTHER

 This debonair, suave individual extremely well liked and admired by his fellow workers and members of the opposite sex, justly and richly deserves to have his likeness displayed and honored in the:

BLUE EJECTION SEAT

Given under our hand in the City of New Orleans
