S/Sgt. Chilton H. Jorgenson's Diary
Ball Turret Gunner 601st Squadron

Jorgenson's Mission No. 14

12 July 1944
Target: Munich, Germany

Mission # 14
July 12, 1944

Today we went back to Munich, Germany again. Time 9 hours and 25 minutes. Flew in the low group today 25,000 feet. Lots of flak but inaccurate. Saw B-17 from another group go down and I guess several badly damaged ones headed for Switzerland. No losses in our group.
