That bloodbath we had over GG yesterday was nasty.
I also noted that my P-40 losses and damaged was greater than reported. They got pasted. (There is some intel for you Sonny).
What kind of experience did your guys have? Mine were 85 for the P-38s/P39s and 72 and 75 for the P-40 sqns, and the fatigue was between 13 and 24 for all sqns.
