Flyers who complete their overseas duty and return to the States are likely to feel that they have "deserted" their squadrons. (Squadron loyalty, rather than love of home and country, is the dynamic factor in a flyer's will to fight.) Though honorably repatriated, such men may develop abdominal pains and fits of vomiting, or become chronic alcoholics.
A special kind of psychoneurosis may attack the airmen who come back to their home towns in a bedlam of plaudits. They contrast the public idea of themselves with their fears and qualms in air fights, and the conflict thus engendered may set up a serious disturbance.
