flak holes

My first mission. We took off at 2 a.m. in the morning. Our assembly point was just off the coast of Japan. Target was the city of Osaka. Arrived as the assembly point about 9 a.m. but the weather was very soupy. Flew around in the soup awhile until we got orders to proceed in over the target alone. We flew into the soup for a half hour. Dropped our bombs by radar & proceeded back. Right after leaving target, we began to pick up ice.
