Even as my Heinkel goes down, the boys are lining up the rest of them for destruction...I hope...
Sure enough, I can see as I come around that the Hun formation is being taken apart, with two more crew bailing out already.
I single out a solitary bomber who is slipping away from the party...
...but save my rounds when I see that he's not taking any evasive action, just going down in a gentle but steady descent, with all the appearances of having been abandoned.
Looking back up, I see a vic of three Heinkels sticking together and under attack.
The boys are tearing into them, so I leave them to it.
Instead, I chase after another bomber on his own who looks to be under control, relatively undamaged and trying to get away.
I get in a good burst before breaking up and left...
...but am suddenly whacked from somewhere behind. I know at once what's happened.
I've been caught napping!
...to be continued!
