I first want to thank every on for their adherence in security. Everyone was where they was supposed to be,, Unlike axis I knew at t+0 where evry group was based...very nice job gets
The frame started like I had hoped the 4th and 23rd hitting their tgt's..making smoke ,closing 36 and put big dar print over 81..as id hoped it drew in the enemy. Buffs hit 84 we lost some buffs and fighter to ack..fighter were sent back in to close the base. In the south the 100th and AE's.played a cat and mouse game with the 352nd.fight encoured over the quad..we lost several fighters in this engagment..
Aaargh the fog of war now sinks in. I was informed the buffs . Didn't have enough to close 85 as planned. We decided to hit post..i sudgest post in north.. As this was transpiring the 23rd was takjng in thier air raid shelter as thier base was bieing capped. Thhe 4th and RCAF was being offensive closing posts in the North..buffs now in mid flight changed the tgt to center of map..as confusion was rampd 100th couldnt MAKE RV..I order them to the south for defensive purposes..AE's started bouncing the 352nd near 46 .which finally ended up over the far west field of 88..100th tried to aid but found them selves in another spirited battle over the quad..
I was relieved by Bombr..so I could fly..I know the 4th and 23rd and 100th was in a desprite fight near 67..we AE's now only 3 waz heavy ib to the enemy tanks near 81.. we had to drop bombs and fight our way out..as the smoke settled down we got NOE at straffed tanks.we got several good runs in but our 20mm annkns on our p-38's must not be as good as the lw we made 4 passes each.and not 1 tank went down...we rtb
I personallyj want thank Bombr. For stepping up in relief Darryl for constant contact and flex ability to alter plan mid flight. 4th for constantly being 1 step ahead of me all a night. RCAF..for keeping up the pressure in the North being aggressive
I want to appoligize to the 100th lots for confusion leaving you vexed and alone all night 23rd for having to sit it out in the air raid shelter twice through the frame.
I do have 1 special kudos to throw out to
BARVIC..he flew all around the map noe over the water and scored big killing 6 ju-52's , 2 freighters for the frame
