1st sortie there were only four 109s, so Dowly, Raptor1 and I took He-111s to bomb a bridge that was on our side, while Oberon took a SSSSSTTTUUUKKKAAA. The target area was covered by clouds, so we bombed from fairly low level. After dropping the bombs we were jumped by Hurris, and Raptor and I were shot down while Dowly escaped. Our escort was elsewhere tangling with some Hurris and P-36s at that moment. The enemy fighters were quickly decimated, and debriefing revealed that both the bridge and an accompanying rail yard were destroyed(by Raptor).

2nd sortie we were supposed to pick up a few STUUUKKAAAASS and escort them to a target just behind the lines. We found the Stukas fairly quickly, but almost simultaneously four bogies appeared and a few of us gave chase. The bogies soon turned into enemy Blenheims, and just as we started the attack the Stukas, now just about above our base, came under attack by Hurris and P-36s. Hunter called everyone back to defend them, and our guys went to teach the enemy a lesson. I was(again) taught a lesson by the Blenheim rear gunners, and with a wrecked engine I downed one before turning towards home, succesfully crashlanding my 109 with minor damage(=it stayed in one piece) on a road a few kilometers inside our lines.
