March 20, 1945. "Moderately Severe Operational Fatigue."

This post doesn't not include letters, but I wanted to include these documents somewhere. As I was going through my Dad's files when I first began working on this project, these documents took my breath away. I'm sure they were more or less like "form letters" but they seem to describe my father's condition in March 1945. I'm pretty sure "moderately severe operational fatigue" described all the air crews, and anyone who had been overseas fighting in the air or on the ground for 10+ months. 

"Rotation of Combat Crew Personnel," page 1. Page 2 is below. See transcription below. "Lt. Adams is in a state of moderately severe operational fatigue as a result of his many infrequent leads as navigator and together with his numerous hazardous experiences."

SUBJECT:    Rotation of Combat Crew Personnel.
TO:    Commanding Officer, 486 the Sqdn, 340th Bomb Gp (M).
1.     In accordance with memorandum, Headquarters AAF/MTO, I hereby certify that 1st Lt. Adams, Angelo (NMI) 0-741436 has completed 66 combat missions totaling 197 hours and 40 minutes as Navigator, and has been on foreign duty since 11 April 1944.
2.     Lt. Adams is in a state of moderately severe operational fatigue as a result of his many infrequent leads as navigator and together with his numerous hazardous experiences.  He was first in a plane with a nose wheel collapse, then a tire blew out on take-off.  Then a single engine over the mountains and finally with a hydraulic failure. He has been over the Brenner Pass at least twenty (20) times and his judgement has been seriously hampered to the point where it is no longer advisable to fly him.
3.    I recommend that Lt. Adams be returned to the States for rehabilitation and reassignment.
