Third time's the charm — we've finally done what we're here for. No opposition on the way to the target. Flak burst pretty close, and I could hear the fragments rattling Candy as they passed through, but they didn't rattle Quarterman, who kept us lined up on the TI's.
Shortly after turning for home, we were hit from below. I commenced evasive action, and Quarterman and Rafterty took shots at a Me-110. They didn't claim hits, but we weren't hit again, either, so they did their job. That was our only encounter, and we landed safely.
