1942, July 7th Fleet Defense off Guadalcanal Player a/c : Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat Airfield : Enterprise CV-6 OVERVIEW : Our Guadalcanal invasion fleet will soon come under attack by a force of "Betty" bombers from Rabaul. You will take off from Enterprisem proceed NNW to rendezvous with a flight of SBDs and splash the enemy aircraft before they can do serious damage to our carriers. BACKGROUND : The sooner we take back the Solomons, the sooner we'll be able to take the initiative and start the long push to Japan. INTEL : Preliminary reports indicate that the bombers have fighter escorts, but the total number of aircraft is unknown MiGMan's diary - These are Japan's Ace gunners... top of their class obviously! I had my engine shot out about 6 times ... not to mention losing wingtips... fires .... turn labels on and be very careful around anybody named "Yamada". This is a scramble type mission - the attackers are only a few minutes out - so try and keep on their tail - it they get away from you you might not have a ship to land on later... A tough mission. Finally I maged to down 3 or 4... maybe it was 2, of the Torpedo Bombers without getting totally shot up. I nursed a crippled plane back to the carrier but the Enterprise was sailing evasively, as you do when under attack. I bailed out next to the ship but apparently this just wsn't good enough as they wanted to send me home with a "poor perfomance" rating! |
