Greetings,
Assigned as Axis, flying D3a Vals from the Carrier C3. Asasigned to attack and disrupt operations at Tulagi (P-31). 8 pilots attending.
In all, we launched 7 Vals from C3 with a late pilot manning guns for skpg.
Ironblde had recently changed his handle and I had not re-invited him in the SE. Appologies!
Launched and took a course of 030 to the 11 line and flew the 11 line East. My plan was to continue East and double-back Westerly for the attack. This was not to be. We were "jumped". We pushed the attack! I know we took down the barracks and did interrupt base ops as ordered. Coming off target one enemy a/c was destroyed.
In all...we had a blast! The VAL was outdated when the war started and her max speed of 200 ias was a difficult bone-rattling ride. We all knew our fate from the missions on-set
Regardless
