"Just got back from a trip up (the big Brenner line). Saw one ship in a different group blow up. We had a pretty good trip though. They were shooting the flak at a different group."

Aircraft is Short Fat and 4-F
"Got back from a frag mission to an airdrome at Prague. A little flak, but not bad. Saw ME-109s make passes at some of the boys - successful too. They let our squadron alone. A pretty long flight and we're pretty tired."

Aircraft is 42-95332, Flak Man
"Same ship again, Same day. The fourth fellow is a bombardier who flew with us. This picture was taken first. We haven't quite gotten over the trip yet."

"This crate has shot down 7 ME-109s but none of ours. We just got back fromVienna when this picture was taken. Glad to be back. We lost one engine and had several flak holes. We're a little bit more relaxed now."
