Your post reminded me of a photo of a B24 with its left wing in the process of being totally sheared off. The caption states that the aircraft had just taken a direct hit from AAA.
However, closer inspection of the photo shows a bomb in the process of taking the wing off. It had been hit by a load dropped from a higher aircraft.
That was in daylight. Imagine the tension of being in something like a Stirling knowing that there were Lancasters or Halifaxes above you.
