#18 “Devilish Snooks”
The purpose of this
mission was burn out the Industrial Urban area which ended in another
successful night radar run. This was a good mission as far as flak and planes
went, as we didn’t encounter either one. Our landing gear would not come down
when we got back to the base, however, after about a half hour of working on
it, our engineer was able to get it down.
