as recorded in the  439 Squadron Operations Record Book Form 540

for

16 October 1944

 B.78 Eindhoven, Holland

Low heavy cloud in the morning that portended rain which eventually came after lunch in the way of cold drizzling and discouraging showers. As a result the Squadron did not operate today. Everywhere is mud, but even so, lot of our airmen were out hauling lumber from the blitzed hangars and buildings and in the process of building themselves small huts. The 150 temporary buildings which were going to be provided have not materialized so the old proverb "he who hesitates is lost" is being observed.
