Looks "slightly" below, but didn't bomber boxes get higher further back in the formation? Very Scary! Reminds me of the "joining up" bit in the latest "Memphis Belle" movie as they came out of the cloud a bit too close of formation.

The Ploesti mission had some moments much worse than this at LOW altitude!

That might just put you right in the way of the next higher box.Better to bore straight on at same altitude I would think.
