Hi Cert,
QMB - 2@P5120NA vs 2@A20 head to head
Mission 1: On visual - no command given to wingman - the P51 wingman broke high while I maintained co-alt with incoming A20's. I engaged right A20 headon my wingman stayed high and passed over the A20's. He inverted and dived on the lead A20 from six high. I closed on trail A20 from six. Wingman made two passes from 6 (broke high after each one) on the same A20 and downed it. I made one pass on the trailer and downed it. Post contact - I flew straight ahead and wingman rejoined. Repeat: no commands given.
Mission 2: Same as mission one except I commanded wingman to engage all. All events were the same as mission 1 EXCEPT. The wingman got tagged by the trail A20 as he went after the lead. I got tagged by the trailing A20 and had to bail.
S!
