00:00so the evening's mission includes the departure from Comiso, the Comiso report is
00:08set course with our cr 42s up to the icata where there is the meeting point with 10 40 z
00:191700 to be escorted by the 75th squadron we pass inside type of gravel that
00:29it was used at the time let's give a little throttle and adjust the propeller incidence to maximum
00:38The aircraft starts to move, yawing a little to the right, but we still manage to keep it there with the pedals.
00:50straight has already put the nose down we have already reached the speed of 150 on
00:59enough to take the wheels off
01:01fuel pressure, oil pressure, engine speed
01:23compressor are on the left it is around 2000 rpm and they have reached ours
01:33wingmates
01:37perfect royal-style formation on the Icata you can see the port area and the river
01:50Now we await the arrival of the bombers
01:54we are at 2300 meters above sea level
01:59a biplane aircraft
02:08view of the port the reconstruction of the port of l'icata
02:15we lost a bit of altitude
02:23but we have time to recover it
02:26here in the meantime we have
02:28here we are on the vertical of our hunt
02:31the beautiful diamond formation
02:34on the left there is another couple
02:38we move to the left of the formation
02:50here on the right we can admire
03:06the entire formation of 10 bombers
03:09they are making quota
03:27so the speed is not relatively high
03:30we are at 240 km per hour at 3000 meters
03:32to the right of the formation
03:53and on the left we see three more
03:55Fiat CR42s that arrived for the escort
04:00in total we should count 18
04:03here we cross on the formation
04:25this allows us to shield the front part
04:30of the other escort formation
04:36which in turn will veer to the right
04:40looking at another section of sky
04:43the one we left uncovered
04:47you can see it at the bottom left
04:51so we are 6x3, 18
04:57all CR42s are escorting the bombers
05:03in the meantime
05:064,500 meters
05:08the indicated speed is 270 km/h
05:11here the anti-aircraft fire becomes increasingly intense
05:15we have almost passed Gozo now
05:16we are almost on the main island of Malta
05:21here they have already dropped it even if we haven't seen it
05:25the anti-aircraft is very prompt
05:29target destroyed
05:31so they hit the target on the left
05:33they are turning left
05:36then they go out to the east
05:38practically vertically above the port
05:41of the valley
05:42the anti-aircraft fire is intense even if not precise
05:54the bombers lose some altitude
06:02to gain speed
06:03and move away from the island
06:07this situation is very delicate
06:11because they could attack us at any moment
06:14the rich in the distance in Malta
06:18which strangely even if alerted by radar
06:25they haven't shown up yet
06:26we move on to the formation to check the damage of the bombers
06:32I don't think there are any smoking planes
06:36here at the bottom left is the port of Valletta
06:41the bombers parade without smoke
06:50so for now they are intact
06:52behind us on the left
07:00the bay of Calafrana
07:05and now
07:10Luca's airport
07:12where you can see the destroyed hangar
07:14where the bombers hit
07:19the bombers parade
07:24and here you can see the contacts
07:26they are two rich men
07:29I'm a little behind
07:32they parade me
07:33one and one two
07:34they are trying to tighten the fight
07:37this is our whole advantage
07:39why the Fiat CR42 can turn tighter
07:44of the enrichment
07:46in fact I'm right behind him even if far away
07:48there's already another one of ours
07:52he's attacking him
07:54in firing position
07:56fire
08:12I opened fire
08:13I hit him
08:13the rich man goes down
08:17it might be time to break up the formation
08:23and proceed towards home
08:25there are no others
08:32and here we are back in Comiso
08:39the bombers even if damaged
08:44they still managed to get back
08:46here I am in the final
09:04the navigation lights were on
09:09and landing
09:12let's reduce the throttle
09:16let's hit the track
09:20a little engine knock
09:23to cheer him up a bit
09:25and we let it land on its front wheels
09:29not a classic three points
09:33and here is the mistake
09:36anyway we are safe
09:42Thank you
09:44Thank you
