the mission starts with good weather conditions and no technical problems , after we crossed the german coastline a few very low 190-d9 fighters spotted us and started climbing to us.
after a short time the first 190-d9 was coalt with my wingman raptor01 and me. he starts his attack from behind and engages raptors bomber pulk. we received enemy radio chatter and so we was able to ident this 190er-d9 as "roscoroo".
raptor saw him very late because he was in bomb sight calibration phase like me. so i wasnt able to give him a check6 early enough.
than i saw him firing to raptors bomber 2 and because of no defense this bomber was heavy damaged after a few seconds of roscoroos fire.
after this few seconds the bomber starts a great disintegration phase , watch the pictures.
after the bomber totally disintegrated and the 190er was able to get out of the blast area (watch picture below) the second bomber of raptor explodes by total hit of fuel system . also this bomber shows a very good fireball and scattered his parts over a unbelievable big area of enemy territory.

after roscoroo passed raptor his flightpath was bringing him directly in front of me. so i dont hesitated and started fire on him with all frontal guns. watch picture below. i got his oil circulation system but he was able to avoid deadly shots. after he re-engaged he was closing me very fast from 10 o clock.
as i had him in gun range i started fire with aiming to his left wingtip to avoid headshot to roscoroo. i got his wing and he was going down , with ability to eject from the plane before impact , watch pic below..

after the other lower 190-d9 saw roscoroo (wing leader) going down they decided to disenage for security reason so we turned to our main target (a german v1 site near stralsund) and we droped our bombs with big success. in the moment of bombs releasing i noticed a 109 above me. so i was giving high alert to the gunners and after a half minute the 109 starts diving on me with high speed. the german radio idented this 109 as "clouds" (a italian fighter ace fighting for the germans) because he gives our position to his wingman.
his attack runs very well but in the moment of best fire solution his cannons blocked 2 seonds so i was able to get good shots on him with less damage on own bomber , watch pic below.i aimed again to wingtip to avoid killing of a pilot like clouds (before the war we was penfriends) he ejected from plane before impact like roscoroo.

after that i decided to go on final course to england from where we started this mission (a base in wales). in this time i noticed german radio between roscoroo and his headquarter. he orderd 3 captured b26 to his chute landing area to pick him up and making him able to follow the b17`s heading home. because of a engine damage i flyed very slow and over the channel near english coast i realized 3 b26 closing me very fast. first time i dont believed it but they really engaged me with high level of agression. than roscoroo was speaking to me with his radio and tells me he planned to take revenge for the loss of his great 190-d9 aircraft. so he closed very fast and starts fire on me.
with a fast move i was able to avoid first shots and i fired back as he directly head on me at high speed. my shots was well placed so the first b26 marauder explodes after direct hit of fuel cell reactor. watch pictures below. than i start fire to second bomber of him and he also explodes very fast. i enjoyed that and roscoroo avoids a new attack an headed back to germany.
so i was lucky and able to bring all 3 bombers back to wales in the hands of my personal mechanic 3500.
this was the mission seen from my point of view and i hope you enjoyd the pictures + sorry for my english , i am better in german.
