Epilogue

I stopped the rolling to the right. I checked behind the aircraft. It was coming from the left.

The elevators for the push-over maneuver.

I raised the flaps.

I pushed up the throttle.

Elevators in the neutral position. Rolling to the left with ailerons.

I added the rudder control to the half-flap configuration, and made a turn.

Rolling to the right.

Under fire.

Too late. Too slow. I checked the meters.

I pulled the control stick toward myself, and entered the loop.

The sound of intake switching.

When the aircraft was pointing upward, I executed the rolling.

I saw the opponent.

It seemed to be intending to climb while turning.

There was another one. On the left below me.

I had no better option. I jettisoned the drop tank.

I choked the engine, and deflected the rudders to the left and right to apply the air brake.

Full flaps.

Down.

My body floated. The seatbelt was pulling down my body.

I pushed down the control stick even more. I added the strength to my legs, and rapidly controlled the rudders.

Stall.

The exhaust from the engine enveloped the canopy.

The aircraft leaned to the left. It is always to the left. It loves the left, eh?

High throttle.

The nose of the aircraft dove downward. It trembled, and the wings followed.

Acceleration.

Dive fast, faster.

The control surfaces were back to the neutral position.

It was pointing downward.

I saw the opponent turning right below me.

Has it spotted me?

I rolled once to check the surrounding vicinity.

It’s a piece of cake.

The opponent finally noticed me, and rolled to the right.

Too late.

Fire.

I turned to the left, and broke away.

I used flaps only for a moment, and then brought them back immediately.

Who’s next?

I pushed up the throttle. While rolling, I ascended slowly.

Something was coming up. Is it the one which has been observing the duel?

I saw an enemy plane going down. Kill confirmed. I have gotten three so far.

Checking the fuel.

The oil temperature was normal. The oil pressure was okay.

I looked behind, and gauged the velocity of the opponent.

He was lunging at me, not running away. It is commendable.

But, in the sky, there was no one who would try to run away.

There was another aircraft above me, very far away. Is it on my side?

The number of aircrafts in the air combat zone seemed to have been drastically decreasing.

I had no idea about which side was winning the air superiority over the other at that point.

I always had no idea of such a thing.

I did not care about it at all.

I just countered the one which was coming to shoot at me.

I just fought against those who did not break away.

It was intending to come from my left.

I climbed up, and turned to the left. More to the left.

The opponent was climbing up.

I saw three aircrafts in the distance, a little above the clouds.

Several streaks of black smokes were being stretched, here and there.

Some areas were looking hazy.

I brought back the throttle a bit. I am letting it catch up on me.

I let my aircraft roll, and then my aircraft flew upright.

The one above me had yet to move. Is it dealing with another target?

It was trying to get behind my back by turning to the right.
