Please join us for This Day in WWII: Black Thursday (Oct. 14)

2nd go was more realistic in that we had NO escorts with us.  1st go, I took 50% fuel, but towards the end the others were out running me.  So I took 25% fuel on the 2nd and low and behold, I ended up getting fueled....   I ran out of fuel about 2 sectors away from base and ended up having to glide the rest of the way in.  Almost rolled off the end of the runway.

I was one of those 6 ya bum.......  Then again, I might have been both of your 2 losses, I don't remember, def one right before you got me   

 

There were some nice attack passes made by the German pilots and I lost 2 of my B-17's on the 1st bomb run.  I salute you. 

But....
