Encounter with a flak-ship

Most of everything I can remember is going into an airdrome one night and we got off and they, they, we took off from there and flew down the channel. And we ran into a flak-ship. I don't know if you know what a flak-ship is. The Germans had them. They just dropped, they looked like a boat, when you home in on them to drop your bombs all of a sudden the sides all go down and all hell breaks loose. So we got, I think, not us, but everybody that went in that raid that night got pretty well shot up, we were full of holes when we got back to the airdrome but luckily none of them hit the, the gas tanks or we would've been SOL. I don't think that the scary parts were scary because they were over before you, before you could really get scared. Like on a, on a, when you fly through flak for instance, it's scary but it's not forever, and as soon as your out of it, as long as you're, you're not shot up you're on your way back. So I didn't, I didn't and I, I'd be a liar if I'd say I wasn't scared. There's no god damn guy on earth that wasn't scared if you were being shot at. It's, it's, that's what I would call part of living, but it's something you don't want to do again.
