Mission #1 - Page 6

**Rain Man** · 04:08 PM

...and the planes begin their takeoff roll!

I've only completed the first plane so far, but will do a bunch of them this weekend. Talisman has graciously agreed to assist with portions of the paperwork (pause for round of applause), so either he or I will be posting the other planes as they fly. I expect to finish many of them this weekend.

A note for you gunners:

1. If you "hit" an enemy plane, it means that you caused damage that will affect its attack ability, but not enough to make it break off and leave.

2. If you "damage" an enemy plane, it means that you caused enough damage that the plane will leave as soon as it makes one run at you, but you also severely affected its ability to hit your plane.

3. If you "kill" an enemy plane, it's a confirmed shootdown and you can paint a swastika on your flight jacket.

Ready? The Tequila Rose is cruising toward the first U.S. bombing mission in Occupied France.

I'd be more worried about your co-pilot being able to find the plane.

Yeah, that mission needed a little spice. For their efforts, Mark M and Coogs get to add a miniature rainbow to their flight vests.

I was hoping to have edited in time to avoid the evidence....

People do strange things under the stress of war.
