P-38 BOMBER ESCORT TRAINING
During the autumn of 1943, the P-38H
began appearing in England, and on
October 15, 1943, the 55th Fighter Group
became operational. The 55th was the
first of four Lightning fighter groups to
join the Eighth Air Force's offensive
against Nazi Germany. Although the P-38
promised increased range over the P-47
Thunderbolt, the Lightnings suffered
from a number of mechanical maladies as a
result of the extreme cold in the high
altitudes at which they were required to
operate.
YOUR MISSION
Follow your flight leader as the two of you
escort a box of four B-17s en route to
bomb St. Omar Luftwaffe airfield. Several
waves of Luftwaffe fighters will attack the
bombers. Engage the enemy planes, and
keep them away from your bombers to
ensure that they hit their target. Also,
remember that you are responsible for
defending your flight leader as he attacks
the enemy interceptors. Once the
bombers turn for home, stay with them
until they reach the coast of England.
Your mission will not end automatically.
You must choose to quit. Please see your
reference guide for instruction on how to
quit, as well as information on other
controls.
