I fell across this video today - I had never heard of this incident. Amazing story / tale of bravery + it brings home what flight crews / pilots endured during WW2. Flak so thick the sky was black … unbelievable how people coped on multiple missions.

I have also visited Hamburg / I was due to go again this year, so at home and abroad I have also seen the scars left from raids. People are very resilient.

That’s an amazing story, I hadn’t heard of this until now. Thanks.

 

Amazing to think about how fast these decisions need to be made and any misstep ends in total disaster. Truly an amazing story

 

Another reason why no one liked the Ball turret position.

 

An amazing story, thank you for posting the link.
