Bolle, Plange get airborne. Head to these co-ordinates and RV with 2 bombers that have become separated after a raid on England. Bring them home, we think one of the bombers is lame.
A simple enough task. Lets hope we got to them before the allies did. As we approached the co-ordinates we could see no sign of our bombers. We flew on for a little while longer in the hope that we were early. Richard waggled his wings and pointed down, I looked down in horror at the mangled wreckage of what could only be 2 bombers.
75698
We returned to the airfield and told the CO the worrying news. I did not feel like a drink in the mess. 2 days later news came in of a captured Belgian pilot who claimed to have witnessed the Bombers demise. I borrowed a car and Richard and I drove over to talk to this Belgie. If his story is true....well I'll let you make your own minds up.....
It was like this. Three of us, in camels, intercepted your bombers on the way home. An AEG and a Gotha, from no-where a British SE5 joined us.
75699
75700
We attacked as a squadron, head on. I dove around the Gotha, the other 2 camels engaged the AEG.
75701
75704
I managed to glimpse the SE5 pilot attacking the AEG too.
75705
I turned to tight and clipped the Gotha, my wing was badly damaged.
75702
The rear gunners of both planes were very accurate. We overshot the bombers, the SE5 included.
75706
We turned to re-engage and as we closed in both bombers turned into each other, collided and poof........they both spiraled into the ground.
75707
The SE5 pilot gave us a wave and flew off, I think he was from that famous English squadron...the one with the bulldog painted on their planes..no. We did the same and headed back to the airfield. 2 days later and my plane....damn the ground crew, was repaired badly, my wing shredded in a turn and I could only crash in a field behind your lines. And here I am.
(A very short game, bombers didn't even reach the half way line so no scouts to bring on......perhaps I should have flew with 52nd SQ after all....NAH).
