Mission 2 - Stuttgart - AAR

We joined the bomber stream and headed for the target without any encounters. Flak over the target was ineffective and we place 30% of our load in the target area. Heading out of the target area we came under attack by a Me110, which shot some holes in our port wing. As luck would have it our rear turret jammed as he passed by. The crew searched the sky, but it appears we lost him. The remainder of the flight home was uneventful with the exception of the loss of our intercom just before leaving the enemy coast. Jolly good luck on this mission. [Damage 6 pts]
