The crimson eastern sky slowly dissolved as sunrise flooded the vast expanse of Burmese Jungle and melted into the Pacific ocean with an earthy orange glow. The air above the jungle lay humidly warm and still. To the soldiers on the ground, all was quiet save the faintly growing drone of two lone aircraft.
On the wing of MOH_SODA this day was the incomparable ACE, MOH_KUUN. A veteran of many great battles, KUUN’s presence offered tremendous assurance to SODA as they cruised across the sky in seek of opportunity. Both pilots eagerly searched the sky for possible BANDITSs.
Finally, in the early light of morning, KUUN spotted the barely discernable dots of 3 aircraft silhouetted above the distant horizon, their direction of flight indeterminate. At SODA's signal, the two ACES slammed their throttles forward and climbed skyward, clambering for the heavens. Both instinctively knew what was soon to transpire.
Each dot began to enlarge slowly into the distinctive shape of a Japanese Ki-61 aircraft, methodically inbound in expectation of opportunity at the front. KUUN and SODA would be the reception committee. The men in their bunkers counted on these two ACES and knew that each would do their best to see their comrades faith was well placed.
Unexpectedly SODA's engine shuddered and came to a stop. Nothing he did would revive it. He signaled to KUUN that he was bailing and popped open his canopy. SODA hit the silk and began his long slow descent. Friendly troops controlled the ground below so both knew all would end well for SODA. From his parachute, SODA looked back at his departing comrade and silently wished him godspeed. SODA knew the Ki-61 was the king of the "turn and burn" style of dogfight but no match for the clever KUUN in his Spitfire.
Placing as much sky between himself and the ground, MOH_KUUN grimly faced his reality. It was his lone Spitfire MkVIII against 3 Japanese Ki-61s. Apparently the Japanese pilots had not yet spotted him, and they seemed transfixed by the now pilotless Spitfire curiously spiraling earthward. The element of surprise was with him.
Using nearby clouds for cover, KUUN carefully garnered his opportunity. The 3x Ki-61's cautiously continued unabated. KUUN nosed his Spitfire VIII over and fell upon the trailing Ki-61. As he merged he released a volley of fire from his twin Hispano 20mm cannons. The starboard wing of the rearmost Ki-61 sheared from it’s fuselage. KUUN furiously pulled on the stick of his trusty Spitfire VIII, directing it again to the clouds which quickly enveloped him. Confused and in disarray, the two remaining Ki-61's twisted and turned. KUUN again dived into the attack. His Hispano cannons bellowed. Another well placed burst struck his opponents engine nacelle creating a huge burst of steam and oil smoke. KUUN watched as the Ki-61's engine seized, telling him that the opponent posed no more danger. He now turned his attentions to the third Ki-61 who had already latched onto his tail. In an evasive effort, KUUN executed several quick scissors. The tactic worked and KUUN squeezed the trigger as the forsaken Ki-61 flashed past his gunsight and out of view. KUUN looped around to see his opponents plane cruising on a steady course as if a target drone. He rolled onto the BANDIT's 6 and made a pass close to the stricken Ki-61. There he discovered it’s canopy opaque with blood, the pilot obviously dead. KUUN shuddered at the sight, realizing that one day he may face such an inglorious death.
Chivalrous, gentlemanly and deadly, MOH_KUUN is an invaluable component of the MOH system and it's squad of EXPERTEN.
