12/16/1943 Sotigen Airframe factory - The Flak is Back
Our last mission saw us facing no flak from the enemy, however we faced a ton of enemy planes. This mission would be totally different.
We make it over the enemy coast and begin our trek through france. at 9:45 the enemy shows up as 4 109's drop into our lap. The Flying plantain shoots down two of the planes and Golden bomber and Wind dancer both take down one apiece. 3 other groups of 109's and 111's attempt to attack our group, but excellent support from out p-47's repeal them and we continue our march unopposed. We run into some moderate flak over the bombsite as we drop our load.
We turn towards england and try to make it out of the flak alive.
Rust bucket must have flown into some sharpnel, because their number 2 engine catches on fire. They quickly get things under control however, and since they have already dropped their load, they dont have problems flying with us.
Mighty madness isnt so lucky though, they get unlucky as a flak shell hits off to the starboard side. Schub happens to be in the wrong place, and winds up with a piece of shrapnel right between the eyes, instantly killing him.
Cloudsplitters also run into some trouble, and they report multiple injuries. The rest of the mission is pretty uneventful. Until we get back over english soil, and the cloudsplitters pilot slumps over. The co-pilot is able to keep things under control and lands the bird safely.
