350th Sqdn.. Crew joined the 100th 12 Apr 44.

On the return flight from Berlin this aircraft had three engines knocked out by enemy aircraft. Rogers ditched in the North Sea (5448N and 0730E) at 1625 hours British Summer Time. At initial impact the tail broke away, the second impact resulted in water entering the waist door and camera well, slightly injuring two crewmembers. All emergency equipment was lost, but an airborne lifeboat was dropped and the crew had no trouble getting underway. They were transferred to a high speed British launch.
