Mission #2
We take off at 7:30am Flying Plantain leads our group of bombers over the english channel and into the enemy. They come prepared today, as we meet some stiff resistance and 8 enemy fighter planes. A few of t hem make it through our fighters, and attack the bombers. The Stormbringers get hit pretty hard on their control sufaces and engines. They dont have enough power to maintain altitude so they are forced to ditch their bombs and turn back for the coast. This is only a sign of things to come. Flying Plantains gunner Free is on fire today and shoots down 3 enemy craft. The fourhorsmen gunners take down one other craft. We reach the decision point, and Flying plantain chooses the main target. We line up for the bombing run and drop our bombs over the target. Unfortunately heavy cloud cover obscures the bombers view, and he only damages one building.(the game counts this as a miss) We meet no resistance on the way back, and have an uneventful journey back to friendly soil.

12-6-1943 We have abandonded plans to destroy the V-1 rocket sites. High command has deemed this to be an unworthy cause. We are in the final stages of planning our next operation. However, we have identified some oil refineries in france that are ripe targets. Lieven Oil production has been designated the primary target. Harnese Oil production has been designated the secondary target. Both targets are small sites, but they refine specialty products needed for the luftwaffe. We can really hamper the operation of them by knocking them out. 12 planes will attack over the next 4 days. Our hope is to destroy 2 of the 3 sites.
