Results of two different flights in one night. J flight (top 4) I was bounced by a high Jug that got shot down by a wingman. Made it home on both engines, the other quit as I was taking the pics.

G flight, I was rammed by an F4U-4 which screwed up his bounce and took off my right wingtip. Hairy flight back, but I made it. Missed the unway and got a ditch though, gotta work on those landings. :)

Be glad you had both engines. Lose one in a 109, and its a BIATCH to land! (Especially when home is two grids away, and your at about 3,000 indicated!)
