CAMPAIGN DIARY:
August 13th, 1940. West Malling.

Ok, chaps, listen up. First something about your personal life. I know that some of you have wives or girlfriends quite nearby. Yes, we are literally defending hearth and home. But I am going to stop all pilots from living outside the base.

It is quite simply bad for morale. 

Wait... I just got this message. Something big is afoot!

Yesterday there was a big raid on Portsmouth, and this morning Jerry attacked a number of our Radio Direction Finding stations at the coast.

Let me tell you about Radio Direction Finding, or RDF. It's a nifty radio device (very hush-hush, you know) that can be used to spot enemy aircraft from a long way away.

Usually the first indication of an incoming Jerry air raid is received by the Chain Home RDF  facilities that are located around the coastlines of the UK. (In most circumstances, RDF can pick up formations of enemy aircraft as they move into formation over their airfields in France.) Once the raiding aircraft move inland over England, the formations are also plotted by the Observer Corps. 

This means that we don't have to patrol the skies, but can be directed towards the enemy formations, as they appear. This is a great advantage! But Jerry has obviously got wind of this, and is now trying to knock them out.

Reports from RDF tell us that a lot of German aircraft went airborne earlier today, but for some reason most of them turned around and returned.

But not all...

------------------------------------------------

MISSION
A large formation of enemy aircraft are moving inland. Observers say that they are Stukas. A probable target is the airfield at Detling. And even though it doesn't belong to Fighter Command it must be defended. 

Any questions? No? Let's go!

HISTORIC NOTES
Regarding the last mission: weather delayed the opening of the German attack on mainland Britain, Adlertag, ("Eagle Day") until 13 August 1940.

The day opened with a series of attacks, led again by Epro 210 on coastal airfields used as forward landing grounds for the RAF fighters, as well as satellite airfields, including Manston and Hawkinge.

In the afternoon of August 13th Ju 87 Stukas appeared in force to attack coastal radars and various airfields. Among the raiders were 40 Stukas from IV(St)/LG1 that targeted the airfield at Detling, that got badly damaged.

The day cost the Luftwaffe a total of 43 aircraft, while the RAF lost 14.
