We need a better air machine. While on a 4 a/c show the flag over Hun land

, my section got into it with one of the new Hun Fighters. It has a fish shape body with 2 wings. What a fiasco, The Hun pilot took out one of my flights a/c then ended up forcing another down. I took 8 hits while firing of 312 rds at him. Finally my Wing mate Orly force him down in NML.
