Lucky tonight. The sound of cannon from below told us a Ju-88 had found us over the North Sea. How it missed us, I'll never know. I took evasive action, but it did manage to knock out Salzmann's heat before we got away. It's just as dark at 10,000 feet as at 20,000, so I descended out of the bomber stream. The Germans must not have been looking for stragglers, as we had no further encounters.
Flak missed us over the target, and Salzmann got a good view of the TIs. We did attract some flak just before leaving the Dutch coast, but it caused only superficial damage in the waist.
