Our mission was to escort FW190s attacking shipping southeast of Novoroskya. We escorted them to the target when they were attacked by approximately seven enemy fighters. We moved in and engaged the enemy. I damaged one fighter before I was in turn damaged and wounded. I exited the dogfight and circled over friendly lines to provide relay comms to my flight from the Stab flight. Black 10 was also damaged but did not make it to land and ditched in the ocean, presumed KIA. Black 4 and White 9 continued the fight until the FW190s were safe to continue their mission, at that point Stab flight took over escort and Black flight returned to base.
