P38's take to the air.

A random Val (Kermit) gets a fuel leak from somwhere (Me)

I like taking pictures of Kermit!

This guy picked the wrong bit of sky to fly in to.

Poor git.

It's not like we were picking on them, honest.

Another Val fails to reach the target.

Reckon he needs that?

Boom!

Great screen shots!

Someone needs to pull the license of the pilot in the blue plane in the first screen shot. He is going the wrong way.

i arrived late...I was there for the ride...I remember your P38 Tinman! Had I arrived on time to FSO, your CV would have been dead.

Nice picture of the the P38's taking off. I really liked that one.

Neg, I was in a Kate with a torp that got the destroyer kill. Think one was Dogg, can't think who the other one was... But I am not 100% sure....

Gotcha.

Was curious why they egressed within enemy radar. Virtually told us their exact location.

I was also dumbfounded by that but assume that they were probably hoping to attract attention and get a few F4F kills before the night closed.

Think they were tied up with some other aircraft in that area and then got tied up on thier egress out. Mostly trying to protect our Kates, but like I said, not 100% sure... I will check with Dogg

Hmmmm, what do you do when you see several P-38's, high, in the sun and you are tooling home in your Paper mache' A6M?

Poor fella's.

I'd spread my 38's over the dar circle in an attempt to locate the cause of the flashing base. I was the first to spot the two dots and think they spotted me at the same time as they turned in to fight the single con chasing them down. Alas, I had radioed my position and alt to my wingmen and they were closing in fast. By the time I was in first merge with the Zero's two more 38's were on the scene. By the time I was reaching for the trigger we numbered 5.
