Trying to restrain myself from posting so many pictures, but it seems to be a lost cause.

And with that, I present this photo essay of a single 262 sortie:
Buff Slaughter 
B-24s at 8k.


And then there were two.

Raked this one from stem to stern.

The B-24 pilot seemed to panic and tried to dive bomb the base - with predictable results.

Really botched this pass, but enough landed to take his wingtip off.

There was a 51 trailing the Lancs, distracting him enough for me to drop in untouched.

Amazing luck that his turn put both wings in my sights.

Total annihilation.

In my head, I'm thinking "please don't collide, please don't collide".


Holy molars!


Nuked two and somehow knocked the gear off the third.

Critical damage dealt to the last one. The 262's shadow is the portent of doom.

One of those rare sorties where everything goes right.

Here is the film if anyone is interested. Edited to 4 minutes. Funny stuff:
