Way over in Perth, Western Aus...
IL-2 DBW Stuka Patrol- 1941 Operation Barbarossa - near Lwow

Preparing for late afternoon takeoff:


Escort lined up on runway behind us:


Taking off:


Bit of late afternoon ground haze around:


Flying east towards the front and the sunset:


Stuka cockpit:


View through floor window:


Rear gunner having a snooze:


Flying in formation:


Crossing the front, escorts dealt with enemy fighters before they could get anywhere near us:


Targets identified, leader beginning dive attack:


Dive brakes extended:


Bombs released - Soviet truck convoy destroyed:


Screaming in for a strafing attack - walking the rounds on target with my rudder - harassing the survivors...




Crossing the front back to friendly territory, only light flak encountered:


Landing and nav lights on approach:


Landing:




Nice mission.
