FIGHTER SWEEP IN FRONT OF B-17S
A comparison of the relative size, weight,
and form of the P-51D Mustang and the
Do 335 Pfeil underscores the difference
in combat aircraft design philosophies
between the likes of Edgar Schmued (P-
51 designer) and Claudius Dornier (Do
335 designer). A confrontation between
these two multi-role fighters would have
shown the Mustang to be superior in
almost every category, with the exception
of speed and ruggedness. The Dornier,
able to fly on just one of its engines, would
have probably taken quite a beating while
remaining flyable...an attribute the P-51
could not boast about.
YOUR MISSION
On a fighter sweep ahead of the bomber
stream bound for the oil refineries at
Leuna, you encounter a flight of Me 163
rocket fighters taking off from a Luftwaffe
airfield just north of Leipzig. Lead your
flight in to attack the Komets as they begin
to climb, but watch out for their protectors:
a pair of the new Do 335 Pfeil fighters
you've heard so much about.
