Schwienfurt is the target for tonight. We head out into the darkness towards our target. A smooth ride all the way to the target city. As we are over the target we finally see the first fighters. Did we catch the Luftwaffe by total surprise on this night? Well this 110 looks determined, we are hit immediately! The rubber rafts take a beating! hope we don't end up in the drink! The Starboard wing root is hit. He comes around again and the Port Wing flap is hit! He finally leaves and we are caught in the Searchlight! the Flak opens up with a vengance! The Starboard Wing landing gear brake is out! The Starboard Rudder is also hit! The Bomb Aimer is hit with a serious Wound! We approach the bomb run and manage to drop thirty percent, with a wounded Bombardier! We turn for home and avoid any fighters for awhile. Another 110 finds us and attacks. We are hit in the Port wing Aileron! Then the port wing flap is hit again by the rear gunner of the ME-110. We manage to escape. Not one hit by our Gunners! Bright & early tomorrow, be sure that we will be at the Gunnery range!
