Picked up a ME110 early on which caused SF damage to the SW and Waist but it was quiet all the way to the target area. We did get hit 3 times by Light Flak that caused SF damage to SW and waist which caused Max our Bomb Aimer to miss the target completely. Skipper put us in a tight port turn to clear the area and as we were leaving Jerry came in from behind I managed a burst but miss however he didn't and again caused SF damage to both wings and put a hole or two in the port Rudder. On his next pass Max got SW and dropped from his turret. Our nav quickly got to him and treated him. We managed to lose that bugger and got home as fast as we could. We fired off the red flares as we came in and the the meat wagon met us as we rolled to a stop. They rushed Max to the hospital as we headed towards debriefing. Later on we found out Max made it ok and will be on our next mission. Damage to the plane was numerous holes in the SW, PW, Waist and Tail and the Nose turret was shot to bits.
