Sortie 1: Luanched F229 with TK and rendezvoused with JG 51 as a ruse to hit 190. There was a faint smell of maple syrup in the air as we approached 190. JG 51 engaged a large force of yaks which turned out to be Canadian Soviets. We maintained top cover as a lone Yak moseyed its way into our herd. Dolch, with the over watch schwarm did a little more than blow the yak and left trail of burning sweat plummeting to the earth. The Yak stench became unbearable as the slaughter was on down below. Low on fuel and no other contacts, we RTB 229.

Sortie 2: Launch 229 for intercept mission 2 near the port area. II Gruppe group engaged retreating Pe-2s as JG 51 provided top cover. Two Pe-2s were sent to their fiery death. Zin, in an overzealous but past achieved effort to catch the lead Pe-2, started a power dive, after reaching 550mph TAS, the elevator promptly sheared off forcing an emergency abort. The gruppe pulled off the fast bombers as they ran into friendly territory, expecting a fighter reception. No other action RTB 229.

Sortie 3: With daylight fading fast, the gruppe launched 229 with the RII bomb package in hopes of stalling soviet armor. The column was quickly spotted with the help of JG 51. Bombs were released in close proximity and the soviets hulks slowly burned. With darkness upon us, we RTB to the nearest fields.

Nice work JG77.
