The two finest aerial marksmen in the battle of Ploesti, Gamecock Hahn and George Barwell had neither one got a shot at an enemy aircraft that day. By taking to the river bed, Appold slipped his guerrillas past the Messerschmitts and sighted no hostile planes all the way home.

As Appold fled Ploesti, the Eight Balls and Pyramiders were plunging across the city from the northwest toward their briefed targets, which were now in a convulsion of flames and explosions.

Bombs Away: 1211 hours

Then let each man turn straight to the front, come death, come life -- that's how war and battle kiss and prattle. -- The Iliad , Book XVII
