PM023 Mission 146 AAR : Kiel

PM023, wireless operator E. Vauxhall reporting. About 100 miles west of the Frisian Islands, an Me-110 surprised us. He knocked out the navigation equipment and the #1 engine before mid-upper gunner Yablonski shot him down on his second pass. Sexton, our pilot, elected to continue the mission rather than jettison and turn for home. We dodged one 110 over the Frisian Islands before another jumped us. The #1 fuel tank was holed, but self-sealed. Rear gunner Aardvark got him good on a fly-by shot. Yablonski, the only other survivor, was wounded by flak, before Xavier put 30% on target. Passing back over the Frisian Islands, we got jumped again. Fuel tank fire, so Sexton didn't have time to put down near the coast. From what search & rescue tells me, its just me and Yablonski that survived. Crying shame with the war almost over … (25 hits, 181 Peckham Points)
