A combat tour that lasted 16 days included, on their first mission, having their a/c seriously damaged by a flak burst that possibly detonated a just released bomb. Flynn managed to bring back "Oh Mona" to crash landing at Attlebridge. On 13 April 1944, flying with two fill-in gunners, the Flynn a/c was again seriously damaged by flak over the target forcing Flynn to make for Switzerland, interning the crew.
