Campaign 4 Notes:
Mission 20 - Flak zeroed in on us starting 100 miles out. 15 minutes out tail gunner Andrews reported he lost turret power. It was only a matter of minutes before Andrews reported power restored. Less than thirty minutes later Andrews reported power out again. He was unable to remedy. Heading into our bomb run flak became heavy, knocking out the ammo feed to the nose guns, rendering them useless. Clearing the flak, flying straight and level, we were buffeted by cannon fire from below. We counted four direct hits, but nothing important was hit. A Dornier 217 zoomed past as it climbed out of his attack. Eyes peeled but he hit us again, this time knocking out gunner Andrews suit heat and we lost the DR compass. Maintaining level flight we were stitched head to tow, which took out the bomb sight, and we lost the tail guns.As we made our run, the bomb release failed. A manual release was too late to be on target. With heat out in the tail, we dropped below 10,000 feet. We were followed by local flak all the way to the coast. We took some minor hits, but nothing of great concern. Crossing the Norwegian coast local flak took one last shot at us, to no effect. With the DR compass out, we found ourselves drifting off course on multiple occasions.
