DEFEND EGGEBECK AIRFIELD
On April 11, 1945, the Eighth Air Force
high command issued a field order that
banned all strafing. Due to the
presence of Allied troops in close
proximity to many German airfields,
American fighter pilots were not allowed
to strafe ground targets for fear of
hitting friendly troops. Nevertheless,
for some fighter groups, parked enemy
aircraft proved to be irresistable
targets.
On April 13th, the 56th FG took full
advantage of such an opportunity at
Eggebeck airfield, near Kiel in Northern
Germany. When they were through, the
Thunderbolt pilots of the 56th had
destroyed ninety-five enemy aircraft.
YOUR MISSION
As you and your flight leader patrol
the area around Eggebeck airfield, you
receive a message from ground control
alerting you to enemy fighters flying
toward the field. Stay with your
leader to intercept the incoming fighter-
bombers and defend the airfield and the
aircraft parked there.
