Some things are actually quite peculiar, with luck and misfortune often being just a relative comparison process.
If these pilots were lucky, they would not have been hit and crashed during the bombing formation of over a hundred aircraft.
But if they were unfortunate, at least dozens of pilots confirmed their crash location, watching them break away from the formation and plummet towards the sea trailing black smoke.
In the radio channel, many pilots were reporting the news that a Flying Fortress had been shot down, everyone reporting what they had seen.
On a Flying Fortress that was already returning to base, the captain was holding the communicator and reporting everything he saw, "Control tower! Control tower! A Flying Fortress has been hit! Yes! I don't know by what, but it's definitely not a malfunction... It's smoking..."
