Notes

1. The Edward Jordan, 398th Pilot - 603rd Squadron Audio Interview runs 7 minutes 43 seconds. The audio is from an original phonograph record made on October 19, 1944 shortly after Ed's return to the USA. The first 3m 45s are scratchy and may be difficult to understand. After that the recording is clearer.
