    Default The Kindness of Strangers Campaign: Interlude 3 - Better 3 of 4 than 4 of 3

    July 19, 1940

    Kyte was limping. His parachute jump had been a hard one. There were no smiles or laughter in the squadron meeting table. "All right boys. We're going for a different approach from now on." Everybody looked at everybody else. "Joachim and Andrzej have been picking my brain with a new approach and the top brass is willing to let us experiment on it." He pointed to the board. "We'll disassemble Green Section." Lee laughed. "What? Are you sending us home?" Kyte smiled coldly. "Joachim will go on from here." Joachim rose from his chair. "Thanks Squadron Leader." He pointed at the new list. Everybody could see their names in it.



    Red Section
    Element A
    Squadron Leader Kyte
    Pilot Officer James Burmashave

    Element B
    Pilot Officer Eris Westminster
    Pilot Officer Martin Barkley


    Blue Section

    Element C
    (Section Leader) Flying Officer Joachim Franciszek
    Pilot Officer Gus Fremhaggen

    Element D
    Pilot Officer Andrzej Bartosz
    Pilot Officer Cael Eorcenbald


    Yellow Section
    Element E
    (Section Leader) Pilot Officer Dave Sailor
    Pilot Officer Nick Littlevalleys

    Element F
    Pilot Officer Lee Batesy
    Pilot Officer Rick Thumberland

    "What is this story about elements?" asked Dave, a part of his head still covered with white bandages and pain spilling from his voice. His Spitfire went down spiraling and his head hit the cockpit before he was able to bail out. "From now on we'll fly in three Sections of four men and each man has a wingman to cover him. The section might split up, but the element of these two men will cover each other always." Dave nodded. "I see. You've done this in France, Joachim?" Andrzej laughed and replied first. "Unofficially." Joachim smiled. "A good wingman will help you return home safely." He looked at their faces and he could see them calculating the use of these changes . They need to be convinced, he thought. "The Germans know this. They are doing it since the Spanish Civil War." Realization sunk in. "Now! Let me tell you how were going to do this..."

    We are assuming the same posture in Malta.
    The other Kyte.

    I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing

    Thanks Paul. Today I made a little detour to the PTO but I'll return to the next mission really soon.
