Today's Mission
For us, it has become an everyday scene.
The only world we know now is our B-17.
Over Adolf's territory, we drop our bombs away.
We have been flying missions both night and day.
We want to cripple the Axis with each bomb we drop.
That bad boy's actions are what we are trying to stop.
So what is the target today, Bremen or Stuttgart?
We want to lunge a dagger right into the Nazi heart.
I heard Axis Sally last night on the radio.
What is our next target? I think they already know.
Well, with today's mission, it is one strike more.
With more success, we can bring an end to this war.
