BuckenO/D
The 32nd mission came the day after the Rhine crossing supply drop. The target was an oil storage facility at Buchen, roughly 20 miles southeast of Hamburg. The sight of that course on the briefing map brought the familiar knot back.
Over the target, at least 15 ME-262 jet fighters attacked the formation. The covering fighters drove them off without a loss. The waist gunner claimed a probable. No flak, no battle damage, all crew safe. Bombing results were assessed as very good.
