  Today is May 28th, 1937. It's a sunny day and a good day because we don't have to go to school today.

  My name is Banks, I'm ten years old, and I'm a student at Central Park East Elementary School in Harlem, New York City. I got up early this morning, today the school gave us a day off, because the teacher asked us to go welcome some great people. My dad and mom are both at home, they said that the factory is also closed today.

  This morning we were all at home listening to the radio, but all they played was a man named Howard Hughes, I don't know who this guy is.

  Radio voice: Howard Hughes and Steve's plane is now flying over Detroit, NBC reporter Lawrence reports from Detroit.

  Oh, by the way! And my idol Steve, he's really awesome. I've seen his game at Times Square and almost all the boys in our class have watched it too. His moves are so cool, especially when he kicked 5 people, I really want to be as great as him...

  "Bankes! Hurry up and come downstairs for dinner, we need to get ready to go out!"

  Oh, my mom is calling me, I have to go eat first, it seems that the next diary will have to wait until I get back...

  New York Manhattan, New York Bank's most famous beauty Ekaterina appeared at the bank entrance.

  Finished work ahead of schedule and rushed home after getting off work.

  Rushing into her own home, she quickly took off her professional attire, revealing a stunning figure, wheat-colored skin. Turning her head towards the bathroom, Ekaterina in the bathroom smiled enchantingly at herself in the mirror, shook her head, and a wave of golden hair appeared in the reflection...

  The camera cuts to her room, clean and tidy, with no extra doodles, indicating that she is a rather self-disciplined person. Wait, why are there posters on the wall? Sun Xiang has a serious expression on the poster, with an F4U behind him!

  The camera cuts again, and half of the wall is covered with Sun Xiang's posters. The largest one is a photo of Sun Xiang and Sherry in Spain, but Sherry's face has been replaced with Ekaterina's face. Well, if Sun Xiang sees this shot, I don't know whether he should cry or laugh.

  Ekaterina quickly washed up, walked out of the bathroom, her fiery figure exposed to the air. The weather at the end of May was slightly cool, Ekaterina shrank her body, then stretched it out again, took two steps towards Sun Xiang's poster, smiled slightly, and lightly kissed the poster...

  Ekaterina, dressed to impress, appeared on the street corner, hailing a taxi. She was wearing tight-fitting jeans that accentuated her curves, and a fitted T-shirt with the words "Steve, my love?" printed on it in messy handwriting, clearly handmade.

  Ekaterina is now somewhat anxious, she has stopped several cars with passengers. At this time, a taxi came, Ekaterina saw no one inside and directly stepped onto the road to stop the car.

  The car stopped abruptly and a middle-aged uncle got out, rushing towards Ekaterina and saying quickly: "Hey, little girl, I'm not taking passengers today, I have an emergency!"

  Ekaterina hastily said: "Uncle, just take me for a ride, I'll give you double the money!"

  The middle-aged uncle was stunned, pointing at Ekaterina's chest, his finger trembling: "Th...th..."

  Ekaterina suddenly felt ashamed and angry, glared at her uncle with hatred, turned around and left.

  Uncle suddenly became anxious, stepped forward and grabbed Ekaterina's hand, Ekaterina suddenly jumped up, just about to shout when her mouth was covered by uncle, this time Ekaterina was frightened pale.

  The uncle said anxiously: "Little girl, don't get me wrong, your clothes are printed with 'Steve, my love?' Are you Steve's lover?"

  Ekaterina's eyes rolled over, nodded, and then looked at her uncle with a sad gaze.

  The uncle quickly let go of his hand, awkwardly rubbing his pants: "Sorry, little girl, Steve is an idol for our whole family. You're Sherry, her girlfriend, so you must be able to help me get a signature from him?"

  The uncle finished speaking and looked at Ekaterina with expectation.

  Ekaterina gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll give you one of his signed photos, but first you have to take me to the airport."

  "Alright, no problem! Today's closure is actually for us to go to the airport and welcome back our heroes!"

  Ekaterina smiled and got into a yellow taxi...

  At 4:20 pm, 500,000 people had gathered around Bennett Field in Brooklyn, waiting for the victorious return of the century's hero.

  "Yoo-hoo!!! I see the Statue of Liberty!!!"

  Several people rushed to the porthole and looked out at the world outside the plane, with the Statue of Liberty holding a torch vaguely visible!! Several people burst into a suppressed cheer!!

  Andy's face was calm, but his tightly clenched hands on the control stick betrayed his inner tension.

  "Hawes chuckled and said: "Hey Andy, you're the driver now. If you break off that control yoke, we're all done for."

  Andy's face turned red as he gritted his teeth and let go of the control stick. Scared, Hughes immediately rushed over to stabilize it.

  Ruide was dozing off in the cockpit, he and Sun Xiang took over the flight this morning, three days of non-stop flying had exhausted the six people, and the two-person shift rotation had also made those who stayed in the cockpit feel extremely lethargic.

  Sun Xiang sat on the right side of the cockpit, holding a military canteen in his hand, drinking the water inside, and licking his dry lips.

  "I swear! The first thing I'll do when I get off the plane is to hug a bottle of cold water and drink my fill!" Sun Xiang's face was filled with longing.

  Ruidi was also woken up by several people's voices: "What happened?"

  Erik said sadly to Reed: "We've flown off course."

  Ryder suddenly jumped up: "How could this be, hurry up and confirm the direction..." Just running for two steps, he found that everyone was smiling at him. Ryder, who had come to his senses, kicked Eric's butt...

  The few who made the best of a bad situation were finally approaching their destination, the plane lowered its altitude and circled around the Statue of Liberty before heading towards Brooklyn.

  "Hughes: 'Globe Airways calling Bennett Airport! Come in, come in'"

  "Wireless internal transmission comes in with a shout: "Oh!!!! My god, they're back!! They're back!! Colonel, Colonel Ralph!! Shh...shh...shh..." A burst of confused noise."

  "Haha, buddies! This time we're really famous!!"

  Ruidi rolled his eyes: "Aren't you two famous enough yet?"

  Sun Xiang chuckled and said, "This time, isn't it that Andy and a few others have also become famous? Lieutenant Reed, your great name has long been circulating in the United States. Haha... when Hughes introduced you at the press conference, look at your expression at the time..."

  Rich laughed: "The officer's face at the time was like a stiff, and the photo of The New York Times with a tight face is the most interesting."

  "Alright, you win. I'm an old man and I've been outsmarted by this bunch of young whippersnappers."

  Several people burst out laughing again.

  "Welcome home, heroes!" Colonel Ralph's voice came over the wireless, as calm as ever.
