P/O Albert Sitwell
43 Sqn Tangemere
23 July 1940

It has been a hectic two weeks since I arrived at the Swn. I've flown three missions: the first was a quiet patrol over pur convoys, the second involved a crash on takeoff that put me in the hospital for 13 days and then at 1130 this morning, after returning from hospital, we had a Yellow Flight Scramble to intercept a Sqn of bombers over the channel.

Leader spotted 6 JU 88s making a pass at our shipping. We kept out heads on a seivel for the escorts, but seeing none, we dove in for a turkey shoot. Geoffrey (Yellow Flight Leader) got 2, my wingman Luke Corwin and I shared one and I added another myself. It was exhilarating, but I did feel my stomach turn a bit when I did not see any chutes from my kill.

If things keep on like this, Jerry doesnt stand a chance.
