That's just the designed "surprise" outcome of the first mission based on an actual event that occurred involving a P-40 ace in the historical campaign. You're supposed to experience what it was like to suffer a non-fatal engine failure on takeoff for a mission. The hidden goal is to safely land your sick bird 'dead-stick' in a nearby field, wheels down, then exit the mission. You can then proceed to the next mission.
Nothing to be embarrassed about...when the camp was first released, most of us were in your shoes, scratching our heads to figure out the "problem". After a few grins, Guy finally came online to tell us what the deal was.
