Gad's I'm all shagged out. I know the maintenance chief is probably not happy about the bouncy landing, but, it was a long flight without autopilot. What? No, no, we didn't lose it till we were SE of Bonn. Oh, oh, yes, we did encounter a 110 south of Aachen, but Edwards saw him coming and gave him a real good pasting, he said he got him. No, it was the one near Bonn that took out the autopilot and damaged the windscreen and wrecked the heat controls to the mid-upper. I dropped down to 10,000, figured the jerries would be shooting high and we'd skate thru the target. No, no, it didn't work as we were picked up by a searchlight. Even so, the Flak missed and Armhearst put the bombs spot on the markers. Coming out to the north side of Frankfurt we saw the last nightfighter for the night. Yes, he did damage us but the boys say they also managed to return the favor. All done? Oh, no bother, I'm off to bed. (86 points)
