Someone sent that to me a while ago and it's a great read. Shocking how many losses they had just while flying around England and figuring out how to join up for massive raids and middairs in the clag.

That's an extremely sobering read.

Practice mission without guns where they got jumped by fighters!

Glad to see this crew got out somewhat okay.

"Today on the ground a gunner accidentally shot his 50 cal. gun off and killed a mechanic nearby."

Wow.
