General Report

I provided high-cover while the other sections were busy chasing the J.P. fighter. I spotted two Bf 109 entering the area, so I tried to get behind them. I fired several bursts from 200-300 yards until big pieces detached from the hun and it spun uncontrollably. After several turns I spotted the second bandit and turned behind him. He flew straight and steady so I chased him for a few more seconds until I was in range and opened fire. I scored sevearal hits in the fuselage and the pilot bailed.
