PM015, PO A. Kinchloe reporting. Got jumped by a 110 over the French coast. Rear gunner Ringgold shot him down. Jerry must be moving reinforcements into western France, as the reports of no flak were inaccurate. Ringgold was killed when a double burst blew his section clear off the rear of the plane. 0% on target, as we were a bit shook up. Harassed by fighters on most of the return trip, as we were clearly unable to defend ourselves from the rear. (7 hits, 47 Peckham points.)
