I knew an ex RCAF WWII pilot who used to fly bombers over Germany in that unpleasant event. He was shot down three times, once over the English Channel. twice making it back to England to crash short of the airport. His younger brother - former RCN (Royal Canadian Navy) often mentioned that his brother was 'hard on airplanes".
The link does not mention the other two events.

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
That's a pretty good read. Exemplifies the fight and don't give up no matter what qualities that made the greatest generation, the greatest. 50 sorties and over Germany and 3 hard landings in 90 days. Wow.
If you click on the gallery button there are a bunch of squadron pics, various squadrons.
