I'll highlight what I don't understand.
How did you come up with these numbers?

these were to orders for frame 1 midway strike
"Target A1 Midway
347th FG (16-21) 68Falcon D3A1 Depart C17 (Strike Command)
357th Death Dragons (4-6) Bomber49 D3A1 Depart C17
412th Braunco Mustangs (4-6) SkatSr D3A1 Depart C17
613th SOS Pariah (4-6) 613ELD D3A1 Depart C17
9GIAP VVS RKKA (4-6) Dantoo D3A1 Depart C17
Damned SE (4-6) Drano D3A1 Depart C17
LCA (16-21) DakOne D3A1 Depart C17
Righteous Vengeance (4-6) Selino D3A1 Depart C17
The Haze (7-10) Chapel D3A1 Depart C17
VF-6 FS (7-10) Rattfink D3A1 Depart C17
VFA-169 Excaliburs (11-15) Ruger 44 D3A1 Depart C17

Become airborne from C17 Kaga and after forming up, follow the route to A1.  There are no Zekes available to escort this force.  It is planned to use our numbers and the superior turning characteristics of our aircraft to overwhelm local defence, which is expected to be weak.  Fuel recommended 75%.

Targets are the airfield and installations on Midway.  Note that the targets are spread over both islands."

 this is why there were 120 planes in the air with no escort if you have everyone there without anyone extra there were supposed to be 113 vals

Nice job Lon! 
I like seeing the pics of those assists on my kills. 

  13 MPG, Tac Drivers, and III/JG11 Sonderstaffel whose N1ks in the end stole our Vodka and took our Olga's.

guys, you both really stuck back there   Everytime I'd look back one of you would be 400 out, I'd get a little distance from one and the other would get 400 out.

Yep - it was a tough frame for you guys. Still, the stats say you did well - we lost half our group of 23 planes in the fighting. 

To be honest though, I found myself more at risk of being shot by our own guys in a horde chasing some poor Yak or LA that had got separated from his wingies. I pulled off a couple of guys because some of my own side were getting a bit too excited.

Also, where was the puffy ack coming from? Is that a feature of the bases on this map?

Yeah, where was the puffy ack coming from?! We went in noe to 108, straffed guns, then pulled up to drop hangers and puffy ack started puffing!   Tuk151 13MPG
