Berbrich took off at 1516 hrs for the purpose of slow-timing two engines (note that pilot Willing aborted this aircraft from the morning combat mission, landing at 1012 hrs). After flying for one-and-one-half hours, a fuel problem developed, so he attempted to land at 1640 hrs, running off the end of the runway and seriously damaging the aircraft. Sortie Report⇗ |
