When the weather over Germany
cleared on October 8th, the Americans launched a succession
of maximum-effort missions to take out aircraft manufacturing plants. The airmen would
eventually call it Black Week. On October 8th,
855 planes left Great Britain for a raid on Bremen and Vegesack. They were loaded with
two and a half million pounds of bombs. Two and three-quarter million
rounds of ammunition. As we came off the target,
out of the corner of my eye, I saw this flight of two Fw 190s
aiming directly for us
