Average IP to bomb release time 10 minutes, but seemed like a life time.
No time for the flak to find us...in fact the flak was over the target before we got there.
We could see the flak several minutes ahead of us, but we knew we had to fly right into it. Although every target provided us with a "flak" welcome. Hamburg and Berlin were especially bad...
the barrage of flak over these was several miles wide and several thousand feet thick.
