We bombed the snot out of A13 and then saw high 109s coming in. 92nd tried to engage them in their Typhoons and kept them off us. But I still got bounced by two 109s near the coast. I toasted one and had another lined up when coastal AAA got me. The squadron heard that the Typhoons were gone and tried to make A42. 109s and 190s were swarming all over the place and only CFIT and Band survived the melee. I think we knocked down 4 109s between A13 and A42, and lost 6 Mosquitos. But we hit our primary target hard.
CFIT and Band then ran to A46 because the bandits would not leave. They were able to refuel at A46 and headed back to attack the secondary target. But they were bounced by several 109s near the A40/P39 area and were shot down.
I hope the Royal Navy did well because RAF got slaughtered. We failed to achieve any kind of air superiority and we paid for it.
