ABOVE SIDI BARANI

On September 23, 1941, the yet-to-be
famous Hans Joachim Marseille shot down
five British planes in a single day.  The
first sortie of the day yielded a Martin
Maryland; in the afternoon, he got into a
turning battle with several Hurricanes
that lasted over a half of an hour.  When
it was over, he had shot down 4 of them.
The I/JG 27 was sometimes referred to as
"Neumann's Variety Show" for several
reasons.  For this day's work the circus
trailer that served as Captain Neumann's
(commander of I/JG 27) office had five
palm fronds added to the grass skirt of
the native that represented Marseille
which was painted inside.

MISSION

Shoot down the Hurricanes you've
encountered.  Because of their guns, be
careful of headon passes.

NOTES

This is a day mission.
