I shot one down, but then I got hit. I stayed in it, I found another one trying to find the bombers. I stuck on him for way too long and when I shot him down I looked down at my fuel gauge. I was dangerously low on fuel, and a bit short on altitude. I climbed up an extra thousand feet and pulled pitch to 60% and power to 50%, I then set a course for home. I confirmed visual on the base, and I started into a short traffic pattern. I turned final, and I had trimmed it all out to account for the heavily damaged right wing tip. On about the last 500 feet of my approach my wing caught ground effect, and with the damage to the right wing I did my best to counteract the hard right roll. I touched down slightly hard, right wheel first, then left came down. I bounced once, but was able to taxi back to parking.
