DEFEND 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
You and your wingman are north of the
bombers as they approach your home
airfield at Oranienburg. They appear to
be unescorted, so you should be able to
concentrate fully on stopping the
bombers. Other 262s are operating in
your immediate vicinity, so be aware of
their presence. Your jets are armed
with R4M 55-mm air-to-air rockets.
