Dénes,
MACR says one hour before target #3 turbo went out; ten minutes later #1 turbo also went out. Power increased to keep up with formation. Five minutes later top turret gunner reported flames from #3 engine. Repeated calls to flight engineer got no response. Navigator went back and found both waist gunners, ball turret and tail gunners missing (Waist gunners were engineer and radio operator). Position 43-54N, 24-38E.

Enjoy!

Frank.
