6 October 1941 - Ya Stal Asom
Today has been a good day, I became an Ace. Sitting in the mess playing cards we were jolted out of our reverie by the siren and shouting over the PA of incoming aircraft. Running to our Migs we lined up and impatient as usual I took off from the Taxi way. Screaming into the sky I wheel round to face the bastards. 4 Ju-87 and 2 Bf-109s. Perfect. I wheeled round and came at the Stuka from underneath, poured lead into his belly and pulled away as flames belched from his nose. Next I saw the first pair roll over into attack. Well I can do that I thought and mindful that the MiG will happily take itself apart I closed the throttle, rolled over on my back and followed a Stuka through, almost blacking out during the pull up. Result. I came out right behind him, and promptly shot him down....
So I am now lietenant Kent ASS pilot 3rd IAK.
7th October 1941
Bomber escort. Today we hit the Germans hard. 8 bombers plus 16 fighters as escort are going after the Germans. All was quiet till we arrived ahead and ran into 4 Bf-109s. Now I was told the German pilots were fierce and battle hardened. But the one I tailed didn't make much effort, not that it mattered as I soon downed him. The next one was a bit harder, he had 3 of us to contend with but I got the better of him. So now I am up to 8 fascists fallen to my guns. I remained and played tag till I ran out of ammo.
Well my friends time for me to rest.
