Banshee flew to Berlin without major problems. We did encounter two enemy night fighters, one of which was spotted and shot down by our new tail gunner, Sgt. Peston Bowie. The second Jerry put a couple of holes in us, but did no serious damage.
Over Berlin, we were surprised by a Me110, but Jerry missed us with his shots. We reached the drop zone and hit with estimated 20% of our bombs. We turned for home and briefly encountered on Me110 near the German coastline, but he did no damage to us. Banchee will be ready to fly our next mission.
