<S> to the Creil Attackers

We had a great plan to find you. It came together perfectly. We made your group out over the channel in 11,8 about 100 miles out from the target. Had guys shadowing you the whole way. Vectored the main body of defenders out ahead of you. Good to go! But you guys held it together perfectly. Nice tight bomber formation. Your escorts did a stellar job and staying on task and not getting stripped away.

Was a nice job all around. You guys did everything right. We did pretty much everything right but there was no avoiding being run over by that steamroller once it came thru! Resistance was futile!  :aok  :salute

The boys did really well. We group two flights together down that line until they hit the enemy coast giving a maximum of 48 fighters as escorts before they had to separate to their assigned targets.
