Teachin' 'em a lesson: Part II...Sort of...
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2003 1:51 pmToday the Japs decided to bomb our base...Well, not if we have anything to say about it. 
My flight and I climb up to altitude and get in behide and above the bomber formation. Their are two zeros in high cover in front of the bombers, but they never see us.
I my first pass I take some hits in the right wing and nose, but I manage to knock down three Betty Bombers in rapid succession...One.
Two...
Three...
This one was shot down but someone (don't know who) in my flight.
Along with this one...I tried to get a shot in but it didn't matter because...
It broke apart sometime after that shot was taken.
About that time the Japenese calvary showed up and made minse meat out of us. Eight Zeros vs. seven of us. (One was shot down by a bomber.) Four more were to be shot down by the Zeros.
This one was the last, and I decided it would be best if we turned tail and ran for home, since I had only damaged one, their were only 3 of us, we were all damaged, and still eight Zeros....Throttle to the firewall and WEP.
Back home. We averted the bomb run, shot down eight bomers, (three by me.
) damaged one fighter, but lost five. 
That brings our squadron's kills to 16 kills, one damaged...8 are mine. But we've lost 7 in battle.

Hey are these online battles? Or is this in a campaign?
