Mission Description:
Take off was routine.

Trip outbound was pretty uneventful.  While we saw some enemy aircraft none got through the fighter screen until we were in Austria lining up for our bomb run.  Two 109's got through the screen and made a run at us, Lt. Olsen got his 5th kill and the other Gerry did not leave a scratch.

Flak was dense over the target and both gunners in the waist were hit.  All other hits were superficial and did not impede our bomb run.

Lt. Olsen brought us right on to the target and we successfully dropped our bombs.

Immediately after leaving the target we ran into another bunch of flak.  Lost a big chunk of rudder but otherwise no damage.  Intelligence needs to get to work so we don't get routed over extra flak.

On the ride home fighter cover kept almost everything off us and those Gerry planes that did get through either did not hit us or did only superficial damage.  Sgt. Havens got his 4th kill with a passing shot up the rear of a 109.

Landing was good.

Plane and crew will be ready for the next mission.

- 1st Lt. Jeff Dodge, Pilot, B-17G 'Jollie Roger', 318th BS
