Mission report: After taking off, we flew to the coast and then east. As we passed the Dives Sur Mer coastal lighthouse, we turned south, avoiding roads and towns so as not to be detected. We fly very low, almost skimming the treetops. We reached the northern edge of the vast forest where the German base was hidden. From a couple of miles we could see thick plumes of steam rising. We took a little height, while I ordered my boys to take care of destroying everything they found. On my first flyby over the target, I dropped both bombs. I don't know what it was that I destroyed, because soon the whole place was burning like hell. Two of my boys were immediately shot down by the intense antiaircraft. I didn't know more about the third of my pilots. I made a wide detour and attacked from the east, discovering that a train was about to reach the base. I attacked it once with one or two rockets, and the locomotive stopped moving, but its gunners kept firing furiously. I made another turn around the area, and fired several rockets blindly, through the smoke from the target, trying to hit the launchers. In a new attack on the train, also with rockets, the formation catches fire and explodes completely. As I turned my head to watch the wagons full of supplies and ammunition go up in flames, a cannon shot destroyed my plane. I could not jump. End of my report.
