Pearl Harbour attack

Recommended Posts

The breifing is breif, no need to go over objectives again, we've been studying it over and over to kill boredom aboard Akagi, our aircraft carrier.

Lets see what we are delivering today...hmm one 400lbs bomb and two 90lbs bombs

OK, here we go, our squadron is in the first wave, which is pretty good I guess, since we'll get to catch Americans with their pantz down. Everyone is lined up and ready to go

I check my instruments with lights on, cuz its still dark, almost 6 am and my fuel tank is full

I open my canopy and unfold my wings

By the time we arrive at PH its around 8 am and the sun is up all the way

Our fighter cover, a flight of Zeros, drops down ahead of us to establish air supremacy

Every flight in the first wave suppose to divide into subflights when we arrive,

these torpedo bombers, codenamed "Kate" drop down low and go around the south side of an island

I check my map for my flight path and change my course west...keeping my altitude high, since I'am flying a dive bomber

my tail gunner gets an eye full, told him to take his shades

My airplane, codenamed by Americans as "Val", one mean looking machine

Meanwhile there is a B-17 bound for PH is on the way and a training flight of American fighters

B-17 arrives before our Samurais do

Several minutes later B-17 is lined up to land

as it does flight of Zeros drops down from above and start to strafe the airfield!

Armed with two 20mm cannons and two 7.7mm machine guns they pack a good punch, this Zero is taking out American planes that are standing by on 5 min alert near the air strip

Others already took out some of the parked outside B-17s

Moments later PH appears ahead of us

As we going around our target area, high above and picking our targets below we hear the first radio chatter on the air today, its first flight of Vals and its underattack by American Cadets

Swiftly battle hardened pilots of Imperial Japanese Navy make short work of those green American flyers, even before they could come close to hurting anyone

One of the cadets did not engage and landed on the strafed out airfield

First flight of Vals is start to work the target, too bad American aircraft carriers are not here, we'll have to switch to battlecruisers I guess.

They did not miss

Meanwhile Zeros keep strafing the airfield

Finnaly its our flight's turn to do some damage,

Lined up my airplane towards American battleships and opened my gunsight

Openinggunsight.jpg

Then I extended my air brakes to keep the airspeed down while Im in the dive, otherwise my aircraft's structural integrity might fail at hight speed.

I revert my plane and look up to check for a target

Then I began my dive

Lookingforatarget.jpg

Looking through the sight I aimed at one of the ships

BSinsight.jpg

My wing already dropped some of their bombs and I can see hits through the sight

I squize the trigger and the bombs realease in salvo of 3, instantly I pull on the stick and pull out of the dive

I don't know how many G's I pulled but it was enough for my eye sight to start blacking out

My tail gunner took this picture with his newly bought camera, note the torpedo trails in the water coming towards the damaged ships

After adrenaline settled in my blood, I closed my sights and start gaining altitude heading back North, the I called my flight to rejoin formation

As we were flying back to the task force we could see second wave of bombers just arriving at Pearl Harbour...
