DIVE BOMB NEUBIBERG AIRFIELD
Although the P-38 was the first Allied
fighter to engage the Luftwaffe's Me 163
rocket fighter, it never actually
encountered the Me 262. This is mainly
due to the fact that the P-38 had been
mostly phased out of service in the
European Theater by the time the 262
arrived in number. Had they met in
combat, the German jet would have held
the upper hand in every way except for
turning radius. Like the other American
fighters, the P-38 would have needed an
initial altitude advantage of at least 3,000
feet to catch the Me 262, which possessed
a top speed over 120 mph faster than the
Lightning.
YOUR MISSION
Flying as the second element leader in a
finger four formation of P-38Js, follow
your flight leader as he flys toward
Neubiberg Luftwaffe airfield for a dive
bombing attack. Watch the other planes in
your flight to see which ground structures
they are lining up with, and pick a target
they haven't chosen.
Watch for Luftwaffe fighters defending
the airfield as you approach, and fend
them off if necessary before you make
your bombing run.
