PM015 Mission 83 AAR : Hamburg

PM015, flight engineer D. Nobsworthy reporting. Sir? Because our pilot got his head blown off. I didn't relish sitting in that seat, but had little choice. We fought off a Tame Boar northeast of Enschede, but got hit by another lurking in the same area on our way back. In one pass he killed our pilot (A. Kinchloe) and mid-upper gunner (F. Tobwater), and seriously wounded our rear gunner (G. Strachan.) After getting control of the plane, I dropped it down to the deck, and weaved our way home. By the way, flak threw off our aim, 0% on target. (17 hits, 115 Peckham Points)
