The Story of Charlie Dowzell (2): Letter Home

Postby cspyro21 » Sat Dec 10, 2005 2:57 pm

Prolougue of story here
Part one here

Dear Father,
                  I have had a wonderful time up at Cranwell. I have made a great new friend called Rory Stubbs, he has a wonderful sense of humour, and is quite skilled in a Tiger Moth. As you know, we have finished flight training, and have been drafted down to RAF Dunkeswell, so I'm near home. you might see me flying over!!.
We've also been assigned those new "Hurricanes", wonderful little planes those.
Image
Recently, I had my turn to patrol the Channel, and these January snows don't make for good flying. (I hope it was a good Christmas, by the way.)
Image
I was doing my duty, everything was fine, but suddenly, foyr shapes appeared out of the gloom. After all those years you and I had learning about aircraft, I knew these were Heinkel He-111's. All four of them.
Image
I climbed up into the clouds. I was to take these guys by surprise. I prepared myself, and thought of you and the family at this moment.
I broke through the clouds, finger on trigger, and began to tear the third aircraft apart.
Image
I saw my bullets make contact along the port side of the fuselage, and I tore a hole in the port wing. Fuel began to leak, and the aircraft struggled to regain control. I fired another burst of rounds and hit his elevons.
Image
I dived and came from underneath. In my short time before I stalled, I sprayed the entire group with rounds from my guns. I got lucky on the second aircraft, completely stalling his engines and critically damaging him.
Image

Image
I pulled away from the two remaining Heinkels, then spun round and sprayed them again. The fourth aircraft plummeted down towards the ground, and the last rememaining aircraft turned tail and fled. I certainly showed them where to go!!
Hope to see you soon,
With Love,
Charlie

Thought there was a bit of 'copy n paste' in the 3rd one! Nicely done, can't see the join and no one objected to my 'Flight of the Phoenix' story so should be alright.

Looking forward to the next part, hope he gets some medals!

Yup, I used an effect in Phtoshop, which doesn't retain the joins (I can't remember what the tool is called ;D) but it came out with a nice effect.

Thanks for reading!  ;D ;D

Marvellous, simply marvellous. It's really shaping up well this set, I really like the ideas behind it and your use of editing is good too, I may use it for future stories too in order to get more than one plane in a shot...

Very good, and I look forward to our mp tonight.... Krigl.
