We flew toward target with no problem until reach Netherlands. Enemy nightfighter attack damage port wing, but we can continue. At frontier of Netherlands and Germany, another enemy nightfighter attack us. Navigator Howington receive serious wound in chest, I am wounded in left leg. Minor damage to aircraft, but without navigator, we should not continue. I turn aircraft for England and drop bombs in ocean. No more enemy nightfighters. Navigator Howington dies. Aircraft repairable for next mission.
With Regrets for not killing Nazis,
Carol Ruczynsky, Lt., RAF/Polish AirForce
