BOMB ORANIENBURG AIRFIELD
On April 10, 1945, a force of 1300 heavy
bombers targeted airfields thought to be
jet bases. Approximately fifty Me 262s
rose to intercept the bombers. Using
tactics that involved an attack by one or
two aircraft, mostly aimed at stragglers
or outer elements of the formation, the
jets had their most successful day
against the Eighth Air Force heavies.
But this was not without cost to the
Luftwaffe: twenty Me 262s were claimed as
destroyed on this day.
YOUR MISSION
Flying in formation of six B-17s, you
are to bomb the airfield at Oranienburg.
Watch for Me 262s intercepting. Escort
fighters are on their way, but you'll
probably have to hold your own for a
short time.
