I thought we bought it that time, Ground fire + 8 Hun machines on the field taking off. I was last over target , the boys did better and mine landed in back of their Tents then head for home. I was glad the flight leader ( Cpt) did not go for a gun run as we might have been chopped. As it was the rotters got close.
