    Default The Wright Flight Dayton Ohio December 10th 2022

    The Wright Flight took to the skies again on Saturday December 10th, 2022. We had a couple of Handley-Page O/400 Bombers with a Bristol F.2B as escort against German Scouts.

    The Mighty Bombers start their approach.

    Nice AAR. Without the explosion card that second HP might have made it. What were the HP gunners? B/A firing?

    Thanks Everyone!
