B-17 crew of the U.S. 8th Air Force is debriefed by intelligence officer upon return from a bombing mission.
A U.S. intelligence officer interviews members of a flight crew upon their return from a bombing mission in World War 2. Pilot of the aircraft says that as the B-17 aircraft approached the target over the river, they were hit by Flak in the left wing and tail surface. The Pilot says they dropped their bombs effectively and were attacked by "109s or 190s" (Messerschmitt Bf 109s or Focke-Wulf FW-190s) that dove down on them and swooped up underneath. He refers to his ball turret gunner sitting next to him and says he knocked off one of them. The gunner says he saw the German plane when it came down from the tail, dove under, and started coming up. When asked, the gunner says the German plane was about 900 feet away when it was hit by his machine gun fire. He also noted they were the last ship in the bomb run. Next, after questioning the tail gunner, the intelligence officer asks the Bombardier about his actions. He explains that after releasing his bombs, he began to plot their positions as they exploded on the ground. He notes they got good bursts on the engine sheds, on the concentrations of box cars in the center of the marshalling yards, and on the viaducts leading to the center of the bridge. He notes that all the bombers ahead of them hit some part of the target, with most dropping their bombs right where they were supposed to. (World War II; WW II; World War 2; World War Two)
