Story: Squadron Leader Tyson and Pilot Officer Klán ambushed two German medium bombers on their way to the evacuation beaches near Dunkirk. They were escorted by two Bf.109, but obviously with a non-experienced pilots. Junkers Ju.88 ended on the ground after the first maneuvres of S/L Tyson and minor assistance of P/O Klán. RAF pilots continued with the second target (Do.17), but suddenly one of the escorting Bf.109 fired precisely and shot down P/O Klán. This accident gave S/L Tyson time to approach Do.17 from it's 6 o'clock and finish him. S/L Tyson did not risk and turned to base without dogfighting any of Messerschmitts. P/O Klán escaped from the enemy territory, but he is injured and he'll be off service for several weeks.
