Fun night last night. I made a video of some of the action. AK's had escort duty with dantoo and 9GIAP VVS RKKA in SBDs. 9GIAP had a great strike. Fun night.
Check out the video below. :salute

Love the video!!
If that was the Eastern IJN fleet that may have been some of us getting cut down by the .50's.
Brutally fun stuff!!

I remember that near penultimate segment at 2:40mins.
I was the last of the GIAP SBDs who made it out of the CV strike tussle as I ran like buggery to get out of the mill.
Steely jumped on-board as a gunner and we headed SE back to our CV. We were grabbing some alt. when Steely spotted a Val crossing under us so I gave it one pass but it saw me and broke so I pulled up and around back towards home. We figured the AKs would catch it as we heard them come on range on the radio and just as Steely was giving them the sitrep here comes at least three Zekes up me 11 o'clock and one was flying right at me. The AKs were not in vis yet...
I pulled towards the Zeke and tried to HO and then went up. We heard the AKs going "Where are you Steely?". I was getting into a square argy-bargy with the Zekes when Greya came zooming in over the top and blasted that closest Zeke right off our six.
Just at the right time, at the right place. Steely said "Did you see that 'front'?!" Awesome!
Nice one Greya! <S>!
We lost our CV and I ditched later not having enough fuel to make it to the land base.
Great FSO frame.
cheers!

That really was some superb shooting AK's, if we'd had the fuel, we would have made it home thanks to you.
As it was, we spent a few hours in a rubber boat singing sea-shanties until we were picked up by a Catalina, got home in time for a
smoked kipper Breakfast ;)
<S> AK's!
