Was an F4F attempting to cover C106 group with 7 other VF-17 buddies...we got our butts handed to us by somewhere close to 5,000 German aircraft...well not quite that many but we were seriously outnumbered by at least 3:1 not counting the enemy bombers that we were supposed to try and stop. At one point on my run into the bomber formation (just before I got exploded by Honcho) I looked back and counted 9 German aircraft within 1.5k on my 6 running me down. I think it was at least that many on us all at one point or another. At any rate the Germans wiped out the task group and cleaned our clocks.
