'Bouncing Baby' was damaged by Me 262 aircraft over Germany (target: Zwickau in Sachsen) and on return was force-landed at Y-44 Beek airfield. Due to the absence of the fire brigade, the smouldering fire on board could spread and the Fortress would be completely lost. The nine crew members return to duty.
