General Report

I was leader of Yellow Section. After my No. 2 got detached from the flight I provided top-cover for Red Section. At one point I noticed that Red 1 was followed by a Bf 109 in a steep climb. I dived down and opened fire at close range. I observed several hits on the left wing but most likely didn't cause any critical damage.
