Bad news came from Arizona. After 10 days of fighting Tucson fell, and with it USAAF base - Davis-Monthan. Although efficient planes have been evacuated, the 309 Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group has been put into the hands of attackers, with 4,500 aircraft discharged.

Contrary to appearances - not all of them were "corpses", about 500 were fit for restoration to the service, the question - whether the Russians will succeed. At the command of the USSR even created a plan to bomb the base, but prevailed over the opinion that it is too close to the city, and the Russian mechanics will not be able to handle the aircraft. The fact that they can take hostages from the base - somehow did not come to anyone's mind ...

The only hope of the Americans was that by gaining successive county strikers, they had more and more difficulty with tight control of the occupied areas.
