Mission 6 - Berlin - AAR

Our mission was uneventful until we reached crossed into Germany. At that point an Me110 surprised us from below, he made three passes at us until Gardner shot him up and he exploded. We took a heck of a beating and lost our Number 1 engine. At this point we elected to attempt to reach the target. We continued on for another 30 minutes or so and came under attack one again by another Me110 in a vertical climb. We suffered additional damage to our flight controls and the Number 4 engine was hit. Sgt Haynes also lost the heat in the upper mid turret. Jerry made the mistake of attempting a run at us from 3 o'clock and Sgt Haynes scored repeated hits on the bugger. As he passed by the right wing of the aircraft exploded. With the additional damage to our Number 4 engine, I elected to abort the operation for tonight and return to base.

Damage: 224 points
