Thought I was a goner...

Reloading aals off US East Coast in May 1942. Two Hudson's jump us and both flak guns open up, me controlling one of them. Could not dive for 12 minutes, an eternity when you are completely exposed on the surface. They made one pass and then astonishingly they both collide in mid-air and fall out of the sky !

I thought I was a goner for sure. Only damage was a good soaking for the lookout/gun crew with the spay of their bombs and of course our own sweat and piss.
