When the crosshair is on your target, THEN you drop the bombs.

Target: Meaulte
Mid-formation horizontally and vertically (low vulnerability)

Zone 1 Out: Britain

No enemy

Zone 2 Out: English Channel

No enemy

Zone 3 Out: France (Entering Target Zone)

1 Me109 driven off by fighters

1 Fw190, 2 Me109s attack – 1 Fw190 and 1 Me109 are driven off by fighters

go bo fires, misses
redcoats58 fires, misses

Me misses, breaks off attack

Entering Bomb Zone
Good Weather
Light Flak – 4 hits (that’s bad luck)
-superficial damage to starboard wing
-superficial damage to port wing
-port wing – landing gear brakes are knocked out
-superficial damage to starboard wing

Maybe the flak buffeting was what gobo needed, because he nails the bomb run – 40% score

Zone 3 Back: France (Leaving Target Zone)

2 Me109s, 1 Me110 attack – 1 Me109 and 1 Me110 are driven off by fighters

munkey fires, kills Me109
gobo fires, misses
thefly fires, misses

Zone 2: English Channel

No enemy

Zone 1: England

Good weather
Unaware that the brakes are inoperable, kcwolfman sets down lightly, gently brakes, and Red, White, and Blew by You veers sharply to the right, bouncing off the runway, across the open space, and across another runway. Right waist gunner cdcox gets a splendid view of another B-17 barreling straight toward it on its own landing run, but fortunately the other B-17 is three seconds further up the runway. Kcwolfman alertly realizes that applying the brakes again will cause the plane to tip and roll, so he just steers and the plane bumps to a stop out in a clearing, none the worse for the wear.

Aftereffects

None

Eligible for next mission

Gobo, you avoided severe disciplinary action with your excellent run. All of you guys owe me a brew for the save on the landing. BTW - find out who our mechanic was and give him a swift chop to the jaw.

Got some motion sickness on the flight back, but otherwise an easy mission.

gobo - Really, you need glasses as corrective surgery isn't an option for the next 50 years.
