General Report

I was Red Leader on a sweep to Geldern. Near Geldern we spotted several bogeys at low altitude but were unable to get close enough to identify them. So we returned to Venray, close to it I noticed flak and then saw a bandit very low that was chased by some of our fighters. I dived down to follow it, but was unable to get closer. So I fired several short burts with the 20mm canons at 400 yards. I observed some hits and then it crashed into the ground.
