Campaign 4

Previous Aircraft: Mad Maggie lost on Sassnitz mission; Wild Wingnut lost on Hanau mission;

Mission 12 - Not sure what all the fuss is about. Ran into a spot of bother with flak on the way home but nothing and no one hurt. Never saw hide nor hair of Jerry fighters.
Mission 13 - Didn't see hide nor hair of Jerry. Flak missed us entirely. Target was completely obscured so I don't think we hit much but every little bit counts eh wot?
Mission 14 - Short hop tonight. Heavy ack ack over the target but got through with some light peppering, no substantive damage. An ME-110 went blasting by us after we had dropped our bombs. I think he was as shocked to see us as we him. If he tried to reengage we never saw him. Landed safely. No bother this one.
Mission 15 - Prosecuted by well-handled HE-219 AO. Bomb bays jammed. Bomb aimer KIA. Heat out in pilot's compartment. Aborted in Zone 5 and returned safely.

Mission 16 - Forced to abort due to fuel system malfunction. Bombs dropped over channel. Landed safely.

Mission 17 - The bombers moon helped us immensely. We absorbed a bit of flak, most of it over the target, but nothing serious. Searchlights never got a good look at us. Benefit of being in the first third I suppose. We thought we saw some fighters stooging about but none came our way. Returned safely.
Mission 18 - No trouble aside from some light flak that caused little damage on the way in to target. Hit the target well, our best yet. Picked up a fighter on the way out but he lost us after two passes. Lost the dinghy. Multiple flak hits in zone 4 caused an 02 fire in the front compartment. We got it put out put flew low for the rest of the mission. Landed safely. Two equipment malfunctions cost us intercom and an oil leak in #2...very lucky that didn't grow into something worse.
