Above the sky, the Stuka Dive Bombers of the Great Tang Kingdom were howling towards the ground. Then, without any attempt to pull up, they slammed into the earth and became a dazzling blaze of fire.
There was no warning, nor any interference from anti-aircraft fire. This was the second aircraft the Air Force troops of the Great Tang Kingdom had lost in these days.
The first aircraft crashed on the runway on its return flight due to improper operation; it was an FW-190 fighter. The pilot, with broken bones, was pulled out from the slightly deformed cockpit by ground personnel and sent to the hospital.
This time, the two pilots aboard the crashed Stuka Dive Bomber were not so lucky. They were unable to parachute out in time, crashing with the aircraft and exploding in a fiery blast.
It wasn't only encounters with enemy interceptors or being hit by ground artillery that could result in aircraft losses.
