Peeling off from right echelon formation,  Frenchy and Nomde follow at 2 second intervals.  Their 3 500 lb bombs are armed and ready.

Intense anti-aircraft fire assaults us all the way in to the target but we stay focused on the target...

The enemy vehicle hangar is destroyed and our 3 P-47s make it home successfully.  Nomde's plane suffered a hit to the main fuel tank, but thanks to the rugged strength of the P-47 (and a little fuel left in auxiliary tank), he makes it back alive with Frenchy and me.

"Red flight, assemble at angels 8 10 miles south of the target.  We're going home!"
