Diary Type: Combat - 24 Dec 44
Waite, Lyle Dwaine
We flew our second mission today. We bombed some railroads at “Daun”. We hit the target right on the head. We took off at 10:35 and landed at 16:45. We carried 22x250 lb. Bombs. Chaff load was normal. We had 4500 rounds of ammo. Our squadron wasn’t hit by fighters, but a few of the planes were hit by flak. We flew our own ship “675” and I flew in the top turret. We got six hours and ten minutes of flying time.
