INTERCEPT P-38S AND P-47S
On January 31, 1944, the 38th Squadron of
the 55th Fighter Group was providing top
cover to P-47 Thunderbolts on a dive
bombing mission. As they approached the
target area, the P-38s were bounced from
above by fifteen to twenty Bf 109s. The
Lightning pilots countered the attack by
turning into the interceptors and climbing,
but the 109s zoomed back up to altitude.
Capt. Joseph Myers and his flight climbed
to 33,000 feet, but were unable to get
above the Germans. When the P-38s
began their descent to rejoin their
squadron, the Bf 109s attacked again. In
the ensuing dogfights, the Americans
downed at least two of the Luftwaffe
fighters.
YOUR MISSION
Lead your flight of four Bf 109G-6s in a
diving attack on the P-47 fighter/bombers
and their P-38 escorts below. Your first
priority is to stop the P-47s before they
reach Venlo Luftwaffe airfield to drop
their bombs and strafe the aircraft parked
there. But you'll also have to deal with
their P-38 escorts, so watch your tail and
protect your friends, as well.
