1/15/1944 Gotha Aircraft Factory

The luftwaffe is ready for us as we cross over into germany.
We are besieged by 109's After we finish shooting them down, 4 190's amd 4 109's join into the fray. We wound afew planes, and they limp back home. Stormbringer has her number 1 engine hit, and it starts to pour black smoke as they fall behind. They drop their payload and try to keep up with us. We cross over the first flak zone. Lucky for us, their aim seems a bit off. None of the planes are severly damaged as we reach the other side. We press on to the target, when another 4 109's attack our position. with help from our fighter escort we take care of them. We finally reach our target, but we have a tough time dropping the bombs, and only hit 3 buildings. We take some more flak as we head back to england. The rest of the flight is quiet, and we land safely.
