Entry: May 1, 1941

May 1st, 1941:

Somewhere in Lybia....

Finally, after 5 months of training, I've finally been given a ME-109. She's a beauty; fast, agile, and packs 2 20mm cannon in the wings with an aditional 2 7.92mm machine guns in the nose. The first assingment given to the squadron was a basic fighter sweep. Taking off from the forbidding African desert, we found nothing. Tommy decided it wasn't a good day to fight, apprently. We got back to base, hoping that our Italian allies would fight harder with our support...

  1. 109's had a 20mm in the nose, plus 7.92mm machine guns above the nose going through the prop.

    The wing cannons were extra features ;)

    Great stories, by the way.

    (And P.S., CFS3 sucks :P)
