Mission AAR

Previous plane Will Nazi Us Coming lost during mission to Stuttgart.

Mission 12 - Mission was recalled outbound in Zone 5, due to Spoof Raid.

Mission 18 - Shortly after take-off, in Zone 2, we experienced a malfunction of engine #3, which quickly caught fire. While the fire was extinguished, flying the entire mission over occupied Europe, with three engines, didn't seem to bode well for our crew or our plane, so the decision to abort was made and we returned home safely.

Mission 19 - It doesn't feel like it, but what seems like bad luck may actually be a guardian angel watching over us. Either way, our ground crew needs further instruction. The last mission, our #3 engine flamed out after take off, mission scrapped. On our first mission after servicing, #3 engine once again burns out after take off. Hopefully, we will be ready to actually drop some bombs next time.

1943 Mission AARs

Mission 1 - None Filed
Mission 3 - While our mission was one of our more successful runs at 20%, if not for our Bombardier's Lucky Rabbits Foot, I don't think even that many of our load would have been on target.
Mission 4 - W/G Christopher Lewis got his second kill this mission.
Mission 10 - A luck flak shot hit the bomb bay igniting the payload, creating seven heroes for King and Country.
