Todays patrol began in hazy weather on the morning of the 11th. As we expected, low level visibility was fairly poor. Just south of Kilpyavr we saw the stuka's below us, but in the event lost them in cloud. It was a very nervous moment.
"Keep your eyes peeled!".I said over the radio, craning my neck in all directions. I had no intention of getting bounced. The fighters were nowhere to be seen.
The day was otherwise uneventful, though I understand another Fw189 was shot down by Ivanov's wingman.
