Campaign 4


Mission 7 - The angels were sitting on our shoulders all the way to Stetten. No AAA or night-fighters even knew we were there until we dropped our bombs. No ack ack hits but an HE-219 raked us from stern to stem. Our nose gunner got him when he came back for another pass. Our tail gunner had been jammed into his turret and we couldn't pry him out. His oxygen had also been cut so we had to drop to low altitude. I thought we were home free but that Jerry must've done for our internals as we started leaking fuel badly. We managed to transfer to the undamaged tanks but we wouldn't be making it back to Old Blighty. We landed safely at an airfield near Bruges. It will take us a day to get patched up enough to limp back to Norwich.
Mission 9 - Margaret encountered heavy flak when making landfall near Kiel. The bomber received a AAA hit to its bomb bay and the bombs detonated killing all aboard.
