Moran sees multiple dots, which are a hoard of German BF-109's, and FW-190's. Hundreds of German fighters soar past the formation of B-17s taking out multiple B-17's. When suddenly the sky is covered in 88mm Flacks, some B-17s retreat,and the rest don't seem to care, when suddenly,the formation of American B-17's break apart do to the Flacks taring apart the B-17's.
