Spitfire Bandwagon

[Tuesday]

Made these sorties on release day on Wings of Liberty.

 

Met a disgruntled LaGG pilot whose goal was to teamkill all Spitfires while they were starting up...

 

[JG27*Kornezov]

Here is how Gunther Rall recalls this episode.

I wrote a summary of the battle, in which I noted the appearance of the Spitfires on the Eastern front. My group commander asked me for the time being not to discuss what had happened. Perhaps you were mistaken, Rall? All this will only alarm your comrades. I responded that it was more likely that tomorrow we would encounter a large number of Spitfires in our sector of the front.
