AOD har detaljer. Dette er en af beretningerne om flyvere Reddet af fiskere i Nordsøen.

De 10 B-17-fly var ude af stand til at bombe Warnemünde (her). Ved det sekundære mål Kiel (her) blev flyet så beskadiget af antiluftskyts at Captain Carey besluttede sig for at lande på Nordsøen, men seks besætningsmedlemmer gik ned med flyet. Piloten og andenpiloten fra cockpittet og to mere fra radiorummet klarede at komme  ud. En dansk fiskekutter samlede de fire flyvere op. (Kilde: p190MACR)
