The Bomb Sight Was His Big Toe
By Ross Howden Pilot, 603rd Squadron
It was June 19, 1944. We were on our second mission. As I jockeyed the throttles to stay tight in formation, one engine kept running over the red line. I reported this to the commander and requested permission to leave the formation where we had been tail-end- Charlie. Permission was granted, so we left the formation and went on our own.
