Last night, I had the most intense sortie I have ever had. I was planning on making a movie of it... but I am stupid little ferret and didnt save the .trk file!

Normandy, '41. There I was, in my Emil, patrolling over some small airfield with the rest of the guys.

The weather was nice, no clouds and sun shining.

After a few uneventfull circles over the airfield I saw three 4 plane lines and lots of scattered dots over them.

I was thinking "Hmm... that looks like an bomber formation. I am still to see a friendly bomber here and they are coming from north too." :hmm: I gave my wing commander the finger and broke off to investigate.

The dots grew bigger and bigger. As I got close I noticed more scattered dots just behind the line formations. "I'm sure some of them are friendly" I though.

A minute later I was close enough to identify three separate Blenheim formations and 14 other planes scattered around them... RED NOSE CONES! HURRICANES!!!

Needless to say, they all jumped me after I strafed the lead bomber either damaging it badly or killing the pilot as it plunged to it's doom.

Okie, there I was, hitting the "Anyone, help me!" button as fast as I could and flew towards friendlies.

My Emil withstood close to what felt like 10 minutes of constant fire from the Hurricanes and just as I got to the friendlies, the fuel that was leaking from my bullet ridden wing caught on fire.

I didnt want to try my luck anymore and bailed out. From the ground I watched as the other Emils hammered the RAF down to the last plane.

I hitched a ride back to my homefield and soon got back into the air and scored my 5th, 6th & 7th kill (Hurri, Hurri, Blenheim) and became an 'ace'.

Lol, I'm sure you feel better when you hear that the 109 is me (If you look closely, you can make out the skull face).

Taken from my current Normandy'41 campaign where I play as the Luftwaffe.

Have few more photos coming, possibly tonight.
