Well guys, its time for the "Long Lance", the japanese torpedoe. Like
the VAL, the KATE is a formidable plane at stall-speeds.
But many dogs are the hares death!
We flew north from KIETA to our 1st rally-point and plowed east towards
the SARATOGA. Here we encountered heavy resistance
without friendly fighter-cover. Again a onslaught began. 4 of SOB5
managed to drop their fishes, but SARATOGA stayed afloat!
Eventually all of us died overwhelmed by F6F. A black day.
Nonetheless my gunner BONI5 and me pinged 2 of this pimples on our
butts :-)))
With the SARARTOGA in sight the dance began. DUGR always stayed around
me,
while i try to punch the "Cats" with my pea-shooter :-))
