"While the damaged B-24s turned west for home, the German fighters regrouped..."

"Here they come, mad as bulls!" Captain Ross radioed to everyone in the three remaining planes.

The waist and top turret gunners in the B-24s began defending their ships from the eight Messerschmitts screaming toward them. The roaring guns of the German fighters ripped through the crippled Liberators. In return, a hail of bullets from the Americans hurled through the sky in a bold attempt to stop the Me 109s from coming closer. Spent shells piled up on the floor of the Texas Buckaroo until the last round was fired. Then the guns fell silent, and the American crew bravely prepared for the worst.

Suddenly, the diving enemy fighters broke from their pattern, scattering in all directions.

Amazed by the erratic behavior of the German planes, Captain Ross questioned his copilot, "What's goin' on up there?"

No sooner had he asked, than his question was answered. The American's "Little Friends" had returned. Sweeping past the three lumbering bombers, a group of RAF Hawker Hurricanes trained their guns on the Germans.

Captain Dawson, leading five other RAF fighters, engaged the Messerschmitts at speeds up to two hundred miles per hour faster than the damaged bombers could fly. The crews in the battered American planes watched the brave English fighter pilots rally against the enemy. White trails of vapor traced lines through the sky as the fighters tangled with each other.
