| Another busy day today as the RAF continues the attempts to keep aerial superiority behind enemy lines. I commanded flight BUMPER with S/Ldr 'Skipper' Merfort assisting with his flight. We had 02 dogfights breakout near the target area and I managed to shoot down 02 additional Me-109s and damage another Fw-190. Unfortunately, rookie pilot P/O 'Wookie' Kaczmarek did not make it back. | ||||||||||

| I've now added 02 additional Me-109s to my tally. 12 confirmed kills so far in this war and not even a single comment from High Command. I'm starting to think they might have something against me or maybe are too busy celebrating in Paris behind their desks while people are dying here in the frontline ... | ||||||||||

| Haven't been able to write lately ... We have been so busy conducting patrols and assisting in protecting our assets over Nazi territory that I can barely find the strength to lift a pencil. Today's operation was a difficult one but I manage to get most of my pilots back home to safety whil shooting down 02 Me-109s and damage one Ju-88. F/O 'Zach' Z. Lamothe who was shot down during operation, thankfully, returned to our base later on today ... That is definitely a big reason to celebrate tonight ... | ||||||||||

| Today's operation was a total disaster. We were forced to ditch our bombs just south of the target in both attempts and got entangled in a massive dogfight. I managed to shoot down 03 enemy 109s but was forced to bail out and face my friend's scorched corpse when I tried to rescue him from his burning Spitfire ... Another huge loss to our unit and an awful memory that I will carry for the rest of my life ... How long can one person take before he breaks? Thats what I keep asking myself ... | ||||||||||
