Mission 15
June 7, 1944
D-Day Plus 1


"Oh, what a day! I must say this was the most interesting so far. It was our first since moving to Hardwick. We led our old group, the 458th to the town of Lisieux, France just past our troops. The bombing wasn't very good as the G.H. Beacon wasn't working and we had to feather #2 because the prop ran away. It was clear just at the beachhead. Below was the most exciting scene I ever expect to see. The Channel was fullof ships, boats, landing craft, etc. There was all kinds and sizes with hundreds of allied fighters giving them cover. The battle ships were shelling some coastal target and some coast gun must have returned the fire cause I saw some hits very close to one of our large ships. I hope we get to go back tomorrow!"

Great stuff!

Surprised no-one picked up on this yet:

"I must say it is sure a grand feeling to be back in England tonight and I don't care much for England.":D
