I lost another Hurricane today. The C.O. said one more and I make a German Ace. The Sqn was at 18,000 and caught 9-12 bombers Escorted by 6 109's Managed to fend off the fighters and get at the bombers. I shot at 3 the last one I got hits then I caught a bunch of Nasty hits all over the Nose of my kite. The gauges went off the clock as the Temp's screamed red hot ., The cooling system had been shot away' Off to port I could see a Yellow Nose bandit heading over to finish me off so I bailed. I say , cheated him out of a sitting duck.
