OPERATION CLARION In late February, 1945, the Eighth Air Force initiated a new offensive: Operation Clarion. Carried out by 6,000 Allied aircraft, Clarion was designed to cause maximum disruption to German road, rail, and canal traffic in a brief period of time. YOUR MISSION Flying low in a formation of six P-51Ds, you are to follow your flight leader to attack the Koblenz railway center. Each of your fighter-bombers is equipped with Bazooka rockets and a single 1000 lb. bomb. Once you've hit the railway center, fly NE to strafe any aircraft on the ground at Bassenheim Luftwaffe airfield. You'll probably encounter stiff resistance from the Luftwaffe, as this is known to be a very active area.
