To Target: No Encounters until in designated target area when a Me-110 attacked us and puts rounds into the starboard wing root and into the navigator's compartment. No significant damage, and Ben's light leg wound will not prevent his flying.
Target: Moderate flak but none hit us; no wild boars. Bomb run: On (30%).
Return: We encountered no enemy on the return trip.
Victories: None
