mission we approached the target down the railroad track at a very low altitude of approximately 100 feet our target was already on fire as some other group the 93rd had already bombed it we went through the smoke and fire dropping our bombs on our designated spot we then went down on the deck as low as we could as those picturesque hay stacks opened up and then revealed their guns and these guns started giving us hell they shot out the 4 engine and a shell exploded between the two waist gun positions wounding both gunners in the legs i was the engineer and operated the top turret and i had a complete view of what was going on i saw one plane that had gone in with the wheels up in a field and all of that crew was outside of the plane we broke one balloon cable and i was looking directly at it when we collided with it i saw another b24 climb straight up until it stalled and just as it fell out i saw one parachute come out and open just before it hit the ground i talked later to this boy bernard traudt as he came into the prison camp where i was we lost speed and dropped out of formation and the fighters jumped us with the two waist gunners out they came in so close to us it seemed we could almost touch them we figured that we had shot down four of them and they finally left us but the 4 engine had frozen up and with a flat propeller it caused a hellava drag the propeller would not feather we started trying to gain altitude to clear the mountains ahead threw out everything that wasn t tied down all of the guns ammunition equipment etc when we finally arrived at the coast our 3 engine was failing the oil pressure was almost gone and the temperature was much too high lt jones asked me how long i thought it would last and i estimated about 30 minutes at the most we decided to feather 3 engine and see if we could fly with the other two but they were on the same side if we couldn t fly we were going to ditch it on the beach i feathered the prop jones and dukate got the plane leveled out but we could not maintain our altitude so we began making plans to ditch we flew onward for approximately fortyfive minutes before we were forced to ditch the time was about 1840 at least that is the time that my watch stopped we all managed to get out of the plane and into our life rafts even though the tail gunner and the navigator were slightly injured in the ditching the next morning a german submarine came by started to help us changed their minds and took off leaving us then at approximately 1500 hours a threeengined italian seaplane sighted us landed and picked us up and took us to brindisi italy and to the hospital there later that same night jones dukate bernard paolillo and myself were put on a train and sent into the mountains to an old
