aircraft returned safely with no casualties. Twenty-four aircraft sustained flak damage andone was damaged by friendly fire. Eight of these were major damage and seventeen wereminor.

"It was completely uneventful except for flak over the city," Maj. Cole reported. "Wedidn't see one enemy aircraft and had no opposition when we dropped our bombs."Gunners said they might as well have stayed in bed.

1Lt. Donald M. Johnston, flying#42-97254, Iza Vailable Too, 360BS,landed at Molesworth with its #2 engine onfire. Flak had damaged the fuel line andthe engine caught on fire when the fuelbooster pump was turned on. The B-17was salvaged after landing. Lt. Johnstonlater wrote, “At about 300 feet over therunway, the #4 engine became a ball offire. Bob, my co-pilot, and I feathered #4hoping to reduce fuel supply, with no helpcontrolling the fire. As I cleared therunway, onto the grass side, my mainconcern was injuring any of our crew as

they cleared our burning aircraft. As the crew cut venting holes over our wing tanks andhosed #4 engine on the right. Alone I departed through the cockpit side window to the leftwing. The Ground Crew located metal pieces that damaged our fuel line, and Iza VailableToo became spare parts.”

OF COURSE — IT IS BERLIN AGAINEd Miller’s Memories and Recollections

This was my twenty-second mission, and of course, it was to Berlin again.The target was that elusive Friedrichstrasse Railway Station in the center of Berlin.Our bombing was by PFF radar and the results were unobserved.

There were two separate missions flown by the 8th Air Force today, bothtargeting Berlin. There was a lot of battle damage to the aircraft due to intense andaccurate flak. We carried a combination of three 1,000 lb general purpose bombsand five M17 Incendiary clusters.

Major Shayler was nice enough to put me on Tommy’s right wing in thenumber six position. Somehow, I think that Tommy wanted me close to him so hecould look after me. And I didn’t object as he was as good a pilot as I ever flewwith in my entire Air Force career.

My crew consisted of Lt John Francis as my co-pilot and the rest of hiscrew. His pilot, Lt Max Christian had come down with a case of tonsilitis while atGander, New Foundland, and remained behind. So, when the crew arrived atMolesworth they were without a pilot. So I filled in for three or four missions whileChristian was getting back to full health.

Lt. Nyle Cotner was the Navigator; Lt Rufe Parrilla was the Bombardier; SgtWilliam Kuczewski was the Flight Engineer; S/Sgt Arthur Tibbetts was the RadioOperator; Sgt Ernest Lobenherz and Sgt Hans Howald were my Waist Gunners.S/Sgt Jack Britt was my Ball Turret Operator (and was trying to get on my betterside for causing the abort on 29 April) and Sgt Kenneth Elmore was my TailGunner.

The mission turned out to be somewhat uneventful as we didn’t see anyfighters today. The flak over Berlin was another story. We put up 36 aircraft in twogroups and 24 of them came back with flak damage, eight of them being of the“major” category.
