Mission report:
My fighters where spread a little thin on the long raids and I was stupid flying the guys without fighter cover. His fighters did not hit them but because I came in low I lost planes for no reason.

Good news we have our first British Ace
Wing Commander John Connell Freeborn, DFC* (1 December 1919 – 28 August 2010) was a World War II RAF pilot. He was not only an ace but also held the distinction of having flown more operational hours than any other RAF pilot during the Battle of Britain.

The Battle of Barking Creek
On 6 September 1939 he took part in an action later to be called the Battle of Barking Creek - a tragic misunderstanding during which two No. 56 Squadron Hurricanes were intercepted and shot down by aircraft from 74 Squadron, thereby becoming the first aircraft destroyed by a Spitfire. John shot down the aircraft of Pilot Officer Montague Hulton-Harrop who did not survive, becoming the first RAF pilot to die in World War II.

Day 67:
Seeing as my bomber did nothing to the rubber factory, I am going back today to do it right. I hope he comes after me today as I now have this raid stacked with 700+ fighters and 250 Bombers.

Mission Report:
Forgot to put up the raid map and mission list
FS did some real killing today. The germans bypassed my raid coming in and then waited for them on the return leg. Good plan as I had set my fighter sweeps to be in front of the bombers. Lucky for me their timing was out and ended up flying right into his fighters as my bombers where crossing the coast on the return leg.
