climbed a bit. I let them file past and then turned on the tail of the last bloke. (I missed a very good chance of getting more than one on that trip. I should have turned sooner than I did and held a long burst so that all four should pass through it.) Anyway, I put in a short sharp full deflection shot on the last Jerry but didn’t have time to see any results. He dived off from the others, going almost straight down and not rolling over to the left or right. I followed, and gave short bursts as I went. The speed was gradually increasing so I hadn’t much chance of drawing any closer. I fired burst after burst, but still nothing happened. At last he pushed his nose down even farther and started to wobble a bit, finally disappearing into cloud with a stream of white smoke pouring from the starboard side of the engine.
