The tail B-17 has run into trouble and drops out of formation. Despite the loss of one engine (and in part because of it), Lucy Quipment rotates back and takes the tail position in the formation, which is the most vulnerable position in the entire formation.
Zone 1: England
Good weather
Good landing
Aftereffects
Left waist gunner Morphius and tailgunner ringleader are both sent home with nice pensions. (Sorry, morphius. This isn’t intentional, I swear. You just attract bullets for some reason.)
