General Report ..................................................................................................................................................................... (6.)
WE took off on a mission to intercept a formation of attack planes bound for our lines. We got to the patrol area and started our patrol. Stab4 in high cover saw a lone soviet fighter and he managed to bring him down, I saw the plane crash. After a few minutes White Lead saw two P-39s over our lines, We moved to engage and White 8 took out one, I saw it flaming and headed to the ground. I got on the tail of the second one and set him on fire and he crashed. We then saw a formation of 5 IL2's headed t our lines covered by fighters. I took out two of the IL2s myself with the help of my gunpods. I saw the other three end up in the water but I didn't see who took them out. Right before RTB White 9 engaged a lone fighter and destroyed him, I saw the chute bloom over the straight. then we returned to base.
