2/29/1944 Final Thoughts

Its a pretty normal flight to begin with. Fighters intercept our group in france. Immediatly Crawling Chaos has their number 4 engine hit. They manage to stay up for the time being. We take out one group of fighters, just as another group hits us again. Mighty Madness takes some damage, but everything looks okay. We press on, and finally manage to fight our way over the target. WE drop our bombs, but our aim is slightly off. We only manage a high amount of damage. We fly on towards home, and pass through the final flak zone. We recieve word from Mighty Madness, that they have taken damage. Their number #1 engine goes out, and they start to fall behind a bit. We reach the channel, and begin across it. Mighty Madness is still barely in sight, when they radio us again. Their plane has lost its number 2 engine also. They attempt to fly it back over land before bailing out, or attempting to crash land. However, with both engines on one side out, they have no chance, being in the middle of the channel, so they put out a mayday. They are basically flying in circles with no chance of reaching the coast. They stay aloft as long as possible, before issuing the command to bail out. Upon returning home, we learn that only 2 members were killed in the ditch attempt. The rest of the crew survived. One of the members was badly hurt, and is expected to live.
