Hey Eagle22 (and the TBH)
Thanks for submitting this to the 'Shot Down!' story thread! Good job! The 'rules' I have for entries are that names and squads should fictitious. However, if your squad and the members mentioned don't mind I have no problem using them. (I just want to make sure that no toes are stepped on here.)
Since this is a fairly short piece, rather than have it be its own story line, I was thinking about using it in a larger story as 'a report from the battlefields'. I won't use it until I hear from anyone mentioned (and the TBH squad leaders) that it is okay to use their names. Eagle22; feel free to edit your post (on the Shot Down! thread) as you need to and let me know when you're done and I'll gladly make room for it.

It was a warm and sunny day at the TBH base. Me and jero was having coffee in the morning as usual. Mayday,Bebonan,tail guner and three more were on their daily patrol . Suddenly we saw an aircraft approaching . Jero shouted "not one but three and they are ours " . It was mayday, guner and bebonan. They landed with smoke and holes on their fuselage. Guner shouted "rEtReAt" abandon the base". Me and jero asked the reason to abandon an important base that we captured from the rebels.
We were packed. Got ready we got all the hornets in the air and we understood the reason why . A huge pack of rebels from the west approaching in hundreds. They wanted to take back their captured base. As guner`s plane was damaged, I put him on a Sopwith which was specially awarded to Devine for his bombing Excellency. As it was a twin seater , he was comfortable. We were 15 in all and had to escape to the secret base at river side,California. Finally we flew up to the skies with our hornets retreating from a hard worked land to achieve.
