South of Tobruk

We managed to get our Me-109's relocated to a forward base near Tobruk. It's a short flight to the besieged port. Hopefully, the British and their Commonwealth will get smart and surrender this port. The port has been under siege since April of this year. In the meantime, our troops on the Eastern Front are encountering fiercer resistance from the Soviets. Also, Malta is being bombed on a regular basis. If we get this island, we could finally have full control of the Mediterranean! Today, I decided to take a look at my Me-109. The ground crew has re-painted the plane to a tan top and a baby blue belly. The crew chief asked me what color I wanted the prop spinner to be. I decided to keep it white until I could decide on a color. The heavy guns roared unto the night. It's going to be hard to get any sleep...
