Our first mission. Our entire crew except for an experienced Co Pilot. #1 engine caught on fire at 6,000 ft. Fethered it and returned to base. We got another plane and joined another Group on a raid in Western France on an unidentified target. We carried and dropped 12 - 500# GP bombs. No escort and we didn't see any enemy fighters. Flak was moderate and caused us no damage.

Sat. Jun 24 from 08:30 till 13:30. 21,000 ft
