Feindflug (operational sortie). On this evening, RAF Bomber Command raided Essen in Nordrhein-Westfalen.
The aircraft was hit by return fire from either a Stirling or a Wellington and caught fire. The pilot managed to bale out with burns to his face, but the Bordfunker (radio operator) was trapped in the flames and killed in the crash. The NVM states that the wreck could not be recovered due to the 'Grundwasser'.
