They need a miracle...

Warning: Spoilers
Jonathan is one of the gunners of a USAF bomber in WW II. (He is also a good cartoonist.) He shoots down an enemy fighter (probably a Me-109) that attacks the bomber, but some parts of the exploding fighter hit the bomber. The landing gear is damaged so much that they can't lower it any longer, and the opening mechanism of the gun turret that Jonathan is in is damaged so much that it can't be opened any longer. Jonathan is going to die because they will have to land without the landing gear and his turret is at the bottom side of the bomber. They have also lost one of the engines and some petrol so they don't have much time to stay in the air to find the right idea to save Jonathan. He tries to stay calm and he keeps drawing cartoons while trying to find the right idea... Only a miracle could save him...

I liked this episode. Although I think some passages are dragging a bit and although at some points I thought 'Why don't they try this or that way to save him?', the episode is well done in my opinion. I especially liked Jonathan's cartoons and the ending. I think it's really amazing.
