The Yanks in the ETO. 142.
The Yanks in the ETO. 142. Cannon fire from a Messerschmitt chopped off the wing of the Fortress just below me on that raid on Berlin. I didn't see any parachutes open. Not many got home without some nicks somewhere - or just didn't come home. There were more than 1.300 heavies and at least 850 Mustangs and Thunderbolts along on this raid and we made hash out of seven fields for jet-propelled aircraft just outside Berlin. We set a new record - April 10, it was - by destroying 305 German planes in one day. We lost 10 bombers and four fighters.
